Tommy Akingbesote brings NFL-sized power and steady production up front
In the 2024 season, Tommy Akingbesote started all 12 games for Maryland and led the Terrapins’ defensive line with 32 tackles, showing the kind of reliability coaches love from an interior defender. He pairs a massive frame with power, quickness, and years of game experience, making him more than just a space-eater; he flashes disruptive upside with tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 2024. He was viewed as a mature, intriguing line prospect and earned a Shrine Bowl invite before entering the 2025 NFL Draft, which says plenty about his fit for a team that wants toughness and upside inside.
