Purdue DT with upside, but little public 2026 stat trail
Grier appears to be a depth or developmental piece in Purdue’s 2026 defensive tackle room rather than a confirmed headline producer, and there isn’t strong public stat evidence yet to anchor a bigger role. What makes him interesting is the fit: Purdue’s defensive front has been reshuffled by transfers and departures, so any DT who can hold ground, eat blocks, and bring steady effort could carve out snaps fast. The big question is whether his game translates to consistent Big Ten trench play.
