Homegrown Maine DL Jace Negley keeps climbing
In the 2025 season, Jace Negley appeared in all 12 games for Maine, finishing with 14 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks, while earning academic honors and a reputation as a dependable, tough rotational presence on the defensive line[8][14]. A local product from Greene, Maine, he was the state’s top defensive lineman in high school and has added size to his frame, listed at 6'3" and 301 pounds for 2026, giving him the look of a classic interior plugger with developing upside[5][7]. If you want a worker-bee DL who brings grit, homegrown pride and steady availability, he’s a fit; if you need instant pass-rush juice, the stat sheet says he’s still building there[7][8].
