KevinJo Atkins brings proven interior pass-rush production and disruptive toughness
Atkins profiles as a difference-making interior DL because he has already shown real sack production and play-to-play disruption, including 9.5 sacks and 77 tackles in a 13-game season at Fresno State, which is a strong indicator of a lineman who can collapse pockets and finish plays. His value goes beyond the box score: the numbers suggest high motor, reliable snap endurance, and the ability to stay active against both the run and pass. If New Mexico is looking for a defensive front player who can raise the floor of the unit, he looks like a credible fit.
