Size-first NT with upside in NMSU’s interior rotation
E.J. Cannon is a New Mexico State nose tackle whose value comes from classic interior-line traits: if he’s winning, it’s usually by being hard to move, occupying space, and helping free others rather than piling up flashy stats. New Mexico State’s recent defenses have leaned on disruptive, situational football, so a player like Cannon fits best if he brings consistent leverage, gap discipline, and effort in the run game. Based on the available team-level data, he profiles as a depth-to-rotation defender whose fit depends on whether he can anchor against the run and hold his ground inside.
