Chris Staten brings veteran interior bulk and backfield disruption to Murray State
In the 2011 season, Murray State DT Chris Staten was a 5-11, 280-pound senior who appeared in 10 games and posted 5 tackles with 1.5 sacks, showing he can create pressure from the interior rather than just eat space[1]. His best calling card is leverage and burst for a compact frame, with a background at Harper JC that included 11 tackles-for-loss and 3 sacks as a sophomore, plus academic all-conference recognition[1]. For a team needing a sturdy, experienced run defender who can collapse the pocket in short bursts, he looks like a hard-nosed fit with some sneaky disruption juice[1].
