A long, twitchy Rutgers edge with real upward momentum
In the 2025 season, Djibril Abdou Rahman flashed as a rotational Rutgers defensive lineman, posting 6 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 1 quarterback hit, and 1 pass defended across 10 games. He stands out for his length, burst, and edge-rushing upside — the kind of traits that keep offensive tackles honest even when the box score stays modest. The knock is still consistency and impact volume, but his academic honors and steady year-over-year role growth suggest a disciplined, coachable player who can fit a system that values motor, versatility, and developmental upside.
