Curtis Francis brings seniority, size, and disruptive juice to Murray State’s DL
In the 2023 season, Curtis Francis was a steady rotational piece for Murray State, appearing in 10 games and producing 27 tackles with 1.5 tackles for loss, plus a pair of QB hurries and a blocked field goal that shows he can create chaos beyond the box score[1]. At 6-foot-0 and 295 pounds, he has the compact, leverage-friendly build coaches like in an interior defender[1][2]. The fit? He looks like a tough, experienced DL who can anchor, flash effort, and give a defense some sneaky playmaking pop—very useful if your front needs a reliable, high-motor interior body[1][2].
