Troy’s experienced DB brings length, toughness, and game-tested resilience
Derick Pendergrass is a **6-foot, 195-pound senior defensive back** for Troy who has already shown he can contribute when healthy, including **11 tackles in three games** after a severe ankle injury earned him a medical redshirt. His value is less about gaudy stats and more about the blend of **size, senior experience, and proven willingness to play through adversity**, plus enough versatility to make plays in run support and in coverage. If you want a physical, seasoned DB with upside beyond the box score, he is a credible fit.
