veteran Villanova D-lineman with a wrestler’s edge
Tyler Langin enters the 2026 season as a senior depth piece on Villanova’s defensive line, valued more for football IQ, toughness, and scheme reliability than eye-popping stat lines[1][6]. Villanova’s staff describes him as a loyal performer who understands the Wildcats’ defense, while his high school background—state-champion wrestler, two-time all-state selection, and team captain—points to leverage, discipline, and a relentless motor that translate well up front[1]. He looks like a strong fit for a team that wants a steady, physical rotational lineman who does the dirty work.
