Lucas Samsula brings disruptive interior upside after a strong first real season
Samsula is a 6-foot-4, 305-pound defensive tackle who flashed real pass-rush juice in his first healthy college season at Wyoming, posting 15 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2025 while also drawing 10 quarterback pressures, according to reporting on his transfer. His biggest differentiators are his size, strength, and athletic background as a former tight end, which give him unusual movement skills for an interior lineman. The main context: he missed the entire 2024 season with an Achilles injury, so durability and continued development matter, but the upside is clear for a team needing a sturdy, disruptive DT.
