Explosive HS Pass-Rusher Turned Buffalo Backup with Elite Sack Pedigree
Jarrett Franklin, a 6-0, 190-lb OLB from the class of 2013, backed up NFL superstar Khalil Mack as a freshman at Buffalo in 2013, appearing in 10 games with 21 tackles while learning from one of college football's best; his HS senior year exploded with 85 tackles and 21 sacks, captaining a defense allowing just 10.3 PPG and three shutouts, earning All-State honors. A state wrestling champ with relentless intensity and proven leadership, Franklin's sub-4.7 40 speed and disruptive motor make him a tackling machine ideal for aggressive 3-4 schemes—watch for breakout potential if he bulks up and earns starting reps.
