Echols is a **young, high-upside defensive lineman** who arrived at William & Mary with a strong prep résumé built on production as both a pass rusher and run stopper, including **13 sacks and 45 tackles for loss in 2023** at West Springfield. In his first college season, he redshirted after appearing in four games and recorded **one tackle in 2024**, then returned listed at **290 pounds in 2025**, suggesting added interior mass for the next level. His appeal is his combination of length, power potential, and developmental runway.
