Baylor’s long, rangy edge presence with blue-collar upside
Josh Samples is a Baylor defensive lineman whose recruiting profile highlighted ideal frame and pass-rush length: he was listed at 6-foot-6, 234 pounds as a redshirt freshman on Baylor’s 2000 roster and appeared on the 2000 depth chart at right end[1][3]. He originally arrived with strong prep production — 55 solo tackles, 87 assists, and 14 sacks — which points to a disruptive, high-motor defender rather than just a space-eater[7]. The fit is simple: if you want length, effort, and edge versatility, he’s the kind of athlete who can bother quarterbacks and set a physical tone[4][7].
