Louisville’s interior anchor with a nose for disruption
In the 2024 season, Dezmond Tell was a steady, physical force for Louisville, starting 12 games and posting 28 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks while handling the dirty work inside. He’s the kind of DL who quietly makes everyone else look better: stout against the run, active in the backfield, and trusted enough to stay on the field in big moments. His value goes beyond box scores—he brings veteran stability, leverage, and a blue-collar edge that fits teams needing a reliable interior plug with occasional pass-rush juice.
