John Custis brings sturdy 285-pound DL production and sneaky disruption upside
In the 2025 season, John Custis played in 10 games and posted 20 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks at Emory & Henry before transferring to Liberty, where he is listed as a redshirt junior DL in 2026. The 6-3, 285-pound interior defender looks like a classic plug-and-punish piece: enough mass to hold ground, enough burst to flash in the backfield, and enough game experience to help a rotation right away. He also carried a strong academic profile and had a multi-sport background in wrestling and track, which usually translates to leverage, toughness, and motor.
