Poe Purcell Jr. brings rare size and power as a true interior anchor for UNLV
At **6'4" and 310-325 pounds** in the 2026 class, Poe Purcell is the kind of defensive lineman who can change the math up front: a big-bodied interior prospect with the frame to clog lanes, absorb contact, and hold his ground against double teams.[1][4][7] Recruiting services list him as a **UNLV signee/commit** and a high-school DL from Las Vegas, with his profile suggesting a classic run-stuffing fit more than a stats-chasing highlight player.[1][4][7] His appeal is size, interior leverage, and physical presence—exactly the traits that travel well if your team wants a dependable trench defender who can eat blocks and free others to make plays.[2][5]
