Austin Peay’s Samuel Green: young, ascending DL with a long frame and room to pop
In 2025, Samuel Green was listed as a 6-foot-1, 239-pound freshman defensive lineman for Austin Peay, and by 2026 he was on the roster as a redshirt freshman at 243 pounds[5][9][11]. The clearest takeaway: he’s still early in his college career, but his profile suggests developmental upside — a compact frame with enough length to add more mass, which can help on the edge or inside depending on where the staff wants to sculpt him[5][11]. There’s no public stat line showing impact production yet, so the intrigue is projection, not gaudy numbers[3][4].
