Freshman DL Khalil Small adds size and long-term upside for Franklin
Khalil Small is a 2026 freshman defensive lineman at Franklin College, listed at 6'0" and 235 pounds, with a strong build for the interior and the kind of frame that suggests room to grow into a disruptive college run-stopper[1][2]. He arrives from Fairfield, Ohio, where he was recently signed to Franklin, signaling a prospect the staff clearly wanted in the room[2][3]. The main sell here is developmental upside: a young lineman with enough bulk to compete early and the physical profile to become a dependable rotational piece if he keeps adding strength and technique.
