Oregon State’s veteran interior defender with late-blooming grit
In the 2007 season, Naymon Frank was a rotational Oregon State defensive lineman who finished with 12 solo tackles and 1 sack, with OSU’s own notes calling him a potential major contributor after years of steady development. His best differentiators are size, quickness off the ball, and versatility across the defensive line—traits that showed up in recruiting reports describing him as a “late bloomer” with room to grow. For a team needing a hard-nosed, adaptable trench player rather than flashy production, he looks like the kind of dependable, physical fit coaches trust.
