Portland State DL with untapped edge-setting upside
In the 2025 season, Elias Sanders is a sophomore defensive lineman for Portland State, and the data points to a player still carving out his role rather than piling up headline stats. At 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, he brings the frame and length coaches covet on the edge, with recruiting pedigree as a weak-side defensive end out of Spanaway, Washington. The appeal here is developmental upside: size, versatility, and room to grow into a disruptive front-seven piece. If your team wants a long, physical DL who could blossom with coaching and reps, Sanders is a name worth watching.
