Alton Tarber IV is a big-bodied interior plug with Power 4 pedigree and sneaky disruptive upside
Tarber enters 2026 as a 6-foot-3, 310-pound redshirt junior for Colorado State, bringing legit Power 4 background from Oklahoma and production that includes 17 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 2024 and 11 total tackles in 2025. His value is in the stuff that doesn’t always scream on a box score: size, interior strength, and the kind of experience that can help stabilize a defensive front. He was a consensus three-star recruit and ranked among ESPN’s top-100 defensive linemen in his class, so the upside is real. Good fit? Yes—if your team wants a stout, physical DL who can hold gaps and give you dependable rotational punch.
