Big freshman body, big interior juice: Tatum McBall is a space-eating Bryant DT to watch
In the 2026 season, Bryant freshman defensive tackle Tatum "TJ" McBall is listed at 6-foot-4 and 340 pounds, giving the Bulldogs a true pocket-collapsing interior presence right away.[1][2] His profile screams early-down run stopper: massive frame, nose-for-contact size, and the kind of build that can force double-teams and free up linebackers—exactly the sort of trench piece a defense wants if it values toughness and gap control.[1][2][3]
