Aaron Armitage brings size, experience, and edge-rush upside to FIU
In the 2026 season, FIU senior DE Aaron Armitage stands out as a long, sturdy 6'5", 270-pound edge defender with Power Five experience from Stanford and a reputation as a physical run-setter who can still flash as a pass rusher. FIU’s roster and multiple player listings show him as an active senior presence on the Panthers’ defensive front, and preseason chatter had him among FIU’s top defensive players. He’s a fit for teams needing an experienced, power-oriented edge who raises the floor with effort and length rather than headline-splash sack numbers.
