Paul Blair brings freshman-sized momentum to ACU’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, Paul Blair arrived at Abilene Christian as a 6-1, 250-pound freshman defensive lineman from South Oak Cliff, a program known for tough, winning football. His high-school résumé pops: state titles in 2021 and 2022, plus 130 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, and nine sacks over his junior and senior seasons. That mix of production, size, and championship pedigree suggests a disruptive, physical DL with real upside if he translates that edge to the college game.
