Experienced DT Bringing Extra Year of Eligibility to Portland State Defense
The 6-3, 300-pound senior defensive tackle is a valuable veteran presence for the Vikings after the NCAA granted him an additional year of eligibility due to his junior college background. Ladson recorded 8 tackles and a forced fumble in the 2025 season, demonstrating his ability to impact plays in the backfield. As one of the most experienced players in Portland State's defensive line rotation, he provides leadership and consistency alongside fellow senior Slade Shufelt. His combination of size, experience, and proven production makes him a reliable anchor for teams seeking a dependable interior defensive lineman with proven Big Sky Conference experience.
