Derrick Eddlemon brings size, polish, and a blue-collar pedigree to Princeton’s offensive line
Derrick Eddlemon is a 6-foot-3, 275-pound sophomore OL from La Vernia, Texas, and Princeton lists him as a 2025 non-game participant with no college stats yet, so the intrigue is in the projection, not the box score[1][3][9]. What stands out is the combination of legitimate high-school production and academic/leadership chops: he was a senior captain, First-Team All-State, District Offensive Lineman of the Year, and earned multiple academic honors, which points to a disciplined, high-IQ line piece with growth upside[1]. If you want a technically reliable, coachable trench player with a strong résumé and family football ties at Princeton, he’s the kind of fit that can quietly become very useful.[1][3]
