Hammond Russell IV brings veteran bulk, steady production and disruptive upside up front
A 6-foot-3, 312-pound defensive lineman, Hammond Russell IV is a proven rotational force with starter-level flashes: in 2025 at West Virginia, he logged 13 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks and a forced fumble over nine games, after posting 3 sacks in 2024. His value goes beyond the box score—he’s praised as a “glue guy” and has shown timely disruption, strong power/impact traits and durability, making him a plug-and-play fit for a defense needing a dependable interior presence with pass-rush punch.
