Eric Brantley Jr. gives FAU a disruptive, high-motor edge off the line
In the 2025 season, Eric Brantley Jr. was a steady rotational defensive end for Florida Atlantic, posting 17 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks while adding 2 QB hurries in 10 games[1]. At 6-0, 235, he profiles as a compact, active edge defender whose value comes from effort, leverage, and backfield disruption more than pure size[1][2]. He looks like a useful fit for a defense that wants a reliable, active run-and-pass disruptor with room to develop into a more consistent finisher[1][5].
