Jackson State DT Powerhouse Ready for NFL Leap
Joffre Young, a dominant 6'3", 290-lb defensive tackle for the Jackson State Tigers, exploded in the 2025 season with 8.5 sacks and 15 TFLs, leading all FCS DTs in pressures per snap (12.4%) per PFF data—showcasing elite quickness off the ball and run-stuffing intensity that overwhelms blockers. No major injury history, his relentless motor and coachable personality make him a perfect Day 2 NFL draft fit for teams needing immediate interior disruption; scouts rave he's 'a steal with prime DeForest Buckner upside.'
