Boise State’s space-eating NT Sheldon Newton brings proven size and senior experience
Sheldon Newton is a big-bodied nose tackle at 6-3, 320-330 pounds who brings plug-the-gap physicality and veteran depth to Boise State’s front. In 2024, he played in all 14 games and logged 3 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, and a quarterback pressure, while his Northern Arizona résumé showed far more disruptive production, including 79 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks in his senior season. The fit is clear: he gives a defense a sturdy interior anchor, but teams valuing pass-rush upside should treat him more as a run-stuffing specialist than an every-down playmaker.[2][3][4][6]
