Ball State’s veteran edge with NFL size and steady production
Jermaine Houston brings classic defensive-end traits: a 6-foot-4, 241-pound frame, veteran experience, and a role as a senior for Ball State in the 2008 season[1][6]. He stands out more for length, toughness, and edge-setting than flashy numbers, which makes him the kind of player coaches trust when they want disciplined, physical football[1][10]. If you need a dependable DE who can anchor the edge and bring grown-man size, Houston fits the bill; the stat sheet may not pop, but the profile says “hard to move, hard to ignore”[1][6][10].
