Experienced, disruptive edge presence with proven production
In the 2025 season, Blaine Spires was a steady, experienced defensive line piece for Pittsburgh, bringing a proven track record of disruption from his Utah State and Bowling Green stops—most notably 5.0 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss in 2024 at Utah State, plus 6.0 sacks and 11.5 TFLs in 2023. He isn’t just a stat sheet hunter; the appeal is his well-traveled, battle-tested profile, length at 6'3", and ability to set a physical tone. EA Sports also lists him at a 79 overall in College Football 26, a nice little thumbs-up to his solid all-around value.
