Redbird veteran with a proven pass-rush nose
Ronnie Tate brings legitimate edge-to-interior disruption value for Illinois State, with the kind of get-off and quarterback-hunting profile that showed up early in his career: as a junior-college transfer in 2005, he arrived after posting 9.5 sacks at Glendale Community College, and his Illinois State bio notes he was a 6-3, 260-pound DL who played in nine games in 2005 with seven tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. That history points to a productive, high-motor lineman who can win with effort and leverage rather than flash—good fit material if you want a veteran trench player who understands how to turn pressure into results.
