disruptive, high-motor defensive tackle with real special-teams juice
Corey Coppola has been a useful interior piece for Davidson, and his value goes beyond the box score: in 2018 he played all 11 games with 21 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, a sack, and four blocked kicks, showing a rare blend of trench toughness and special-teams disruption. He also earned PFL Special Teams Player of the Week recognition after helping spark a big-play defensive performance, which suggests a player with urgency, awareness, and playmaking instincts. For a team, he looks like a physical, high-effort DT who can affect field position and bring contagious energy.[1][2]
