Local-grown interior disruptor with real starting experience
Tyler Kiehne is a New Mexico lineman who has already shown he can hold up in live action: in the 2023 season he played in 12 games with 12 starts, finishing with 17 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, a forced fumble, and three pass breakups. He followed with 6 tackles and 1 TFL in the 2024 season, giving the Lobos a sturdy, 6-foot-3, 276-pound DL who plays with effort and positional flexibility. The appeal here is upside plus continuity: a homegrown player who has logged meaningful snaps, battled through early injuries, and brings a blue-collar interior presence rather than flash.
