Samford’s veteran DT Francisco Jimenez is a proven trench grinder
In the 2021 spring season, Francisco Jimenez logged 10 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss in six games, with a five-tackle, 2.0-TFL outing against VMI showing he can flash real disruption when he’s rolling[1]. At 6-foot-4 and 257 pounds in Samford’s roster listing, he brings sturdy interior length, experience, and a history of making plays behind the line rather than just eating space[1][8]. If you need a disciplined, battle-tested defensive tackle who can hold up inside and occasionally wreck a run game, he’s the kind of fit that quietly helps a defense stay nasty.
