Nathan LaPlante is a disruptive, improving run-stopper for Bryant’s front line
LaPlante’s value is in the dirty-work stuff that coaches love: in 2025, he played all 12 games for Bryant and finished with 15 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 5.5 tackles for loss and five QB hurries, with 3.5 of his first 4.5 tackles coming behind the line of scrimmage. That profile suggests an active, penetrating defensive lineman who can create negative plays rather than just occupy space, and his jump from 12 tackles in 2024 points to real year-over-year growth. If you need a dependable DL with production, motor and disruption potential, he looks like a good fit.[2]
