Stetson DE Nolan DeFranco brings length, experience, and proven backfield disruption
DeFranco is a long, experienced edge defender who showed real production for Stetson in 2021, starting all seven games he played and finishing with 21 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks, plus a QB hurry and a forced fumble[4]. He entered college as a highly regarded recruit, ranked among the top defensive end prospects in Florida and the South, which points to upside as a fit for teams that value size, leverage, and pass-rush potential off the edge[1][2].
