Lengthy, Young UIW DL With Upside and Special-Teams Value
In the 2025 season, Tomsen Vickery played in 3 games for UIW, contributing on special teams after a brief stint at Air Force, and he entered 2026 listed at 6-foot-5, 255 pounds as a redshirt freshman.[1][4][8] His biggest selling points are frame, room to grow, and multi-sport athleticism signals from his pre-college profile, which made him an FBS-caliber add with developmental upside rather than a finished product.[3][13] If a team wants a long, physical developmental DL who can flash on effort and special teams while adding mass and technique, he’s a fit; if it needs immediate every-down production, he’s still climbing that hill.[1][8]
