Justin Stearns brings versatile, active front-seven depth to San Jose State
Justin Stearns is a sophomore defensive lineman at San Jose State who profiles as an active, physical defender at about 6'2", 245 pounds, with enough versatility to line up in multiple front-seven roles. In 2025, he showed steady involvement in the Spartan defense with a consistent tackle presence, including a four-tackle game against Central Michigan and multiple multi-tackle outings, suggesting dependable snap-to-snap effort rather than flashy, one-play production. His value is in toughness, motor, and role flexibility; he looks like a useful fit for a team that wants a hard-working interior/outside-line hybrid with room to grow.[1][3][2]
