Bennie Higgins brings proven edge-setting production to Louisiana’s front
In the 2024 season, Bennie Higgins started all 14 games on Louisiana’s defensive line and posted 32 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and two quarterback hurries, showing he can be a steady, disruptive DE rather than just a space-eater.[1] At 6-2 and 275 pounds, he profiles as a strong-side end with the size to hold the edge and the production to impact backfields, which makes him a useful fit for teams needing a physical, assignment-sound defender who can still get after the quarterback.[2]
