Veteran Villanova interior lineman with athletic upside
In the 2003 season, Baylen Botts was described by Villanova as an athletic defensive tackle who improved each year and brought speed, power, and versatility after moving from end to tackle; earlier team notes also said big things were expected from him after he returned from a broken-leg injury. He looks like the classic dependable, high-motor line piece: experienced, flexible, and more productive than flashy, with value coming from effort, technique, and positional adaptability rather than headline-grabbing stats. Good fit for a team that wants a tough, scheme-versatile interior defender.
