Shane Yates gives Ohio a proven interior-force profile with a knack for disruption
In the 2004 season, Ohio defensive tackle Shane Yates posted 27 tackles, including 1 sack, showing the kind of sturdy interior production that coaches love from a DL anchor[1]. At 6-foot-? and wearing No. 74, he profiles as a physical, assignment-sound defender who can hold up inside and chip in on the stat sheet without needing splash plays to matter[1]. The big reason to care: he looks like a fit for a team wanting toughness, leverage, and dependable snap-to-snap effort in the middle, not just highlight-reel chaos[1].
