productive edge rusher with proven sack production and all-conference impact at UAB
Desmond Little was a disruptive edge defender for UAB in 2024, starting all 12 games and earning AAC First Team All-Conference honors after posting 41 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks; he followed a strong 2023 debut at UAB with 29 tackles, a team-high 5.5 sacks, and 7.5 TFL in 11 games. His value goes beyond the box score: he consistently creates backfield pressure, flashes versatility with QB hits and pass breakups, and has shown he can be a full-time, high-motor starter—exactly the kind of dependable front-seven piece that helps a defense win on early downs and in obvious passing situations.[1]
