Stanford freshman DL Connor Bachhuber brings size, upside, and trench versatility
Bachhuber is a 6'5", 275-pound Stanford defensive lineman with notable frame-and-strength upside, and his recruiting/profile data suggest a developmental lineman with multi-role potential in the front. In high school, he produced 79 total tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles over 24 games, showing disruptive flashes rather than just bulk. He did not appear as a freshman in 2024, but Stanford lists him as active, and EA’s 2026 game ratings peg him as a strong run-game presence with an 83 strength score. He profiles as a good fit for a team that values size, physicality, and long-term development over instant production.
