Will Whitson is a disruptive, high-mileage DL with SEC-ready burst
Whitson is a 6-foot-5, 295-pound Mississippi State defensive lineman whose biggest calling card is backfield disruption: in the 2025 season, he posted 8 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks before an ACL injury ended his year early, and he entered 2026 with a medical waiver after already proving he can produce at multiple stops. His game screams violent hands, downhill urgency, and proven pass-rush juice for an interior/edge hybrid, which is why he drew instant praise after a strong early-2025 showing. If your team wants a veteran tone-setter who can change the math on run plays and passing downs, he fits.
