Mond Cole brings size, run-stuffing value, and a knack for timely fumble recoveries to Memphis’s defensive front.
Cole is a 6-foot-1, 325-pound defensive lineman whose value shows up in the dirty work: in 2024, he played 11 games, totaled five tackles, one tackle for loss, and two fumble recoveries, including one that helped Memphis beat West Virginia in the Frisco Bowl.[1][3] A former JUCO standout at Holmes CC, he was ranked among the top junior-college defensive linemen and has built a profile as a physical, high-motor interior body who can absorb blocks and make disruptive effort plays.[3] He looks like a fit for teams that want a stout, experienced depth piece with real short-yardage and turnover-recovery utility.[3][8]
