sturdy Merrimack edge presence with size and senior experience
Adrian Rufo enters the 2026 season as a senior defensive lineman for Merrimack, listed at 6-foot-1 and 230-248 pounds depending on the source, with a career profile built more on reliability and role fit than splashy box-score production. His 2025 stat line was modest, but he still logged game action and brings veteran depth, toughness, and a compact frame that can play with leverage inside or on the edge. If you want a no-drama, hard-nosed DL who fits a physical front, Rufo is the kind of piece coaches trust to do the dirty work.
