William Brimfield brings size and disruptive power to Tennessee’s front
Brimfield is a classic power-based **defensive tackle** who stood out in high school with **83 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 9 sacks** as a senior, plus **3 forced fumbles** and **3 recoveries**, which points to real backfield disruption rather than just gap-eating size. At **6-foot-5, 287 pounds**, he profiles as an interior lineman with length, leverage, and pass-rush upside, making him interesting for teams that want a physical tone-setter who can collapse the pocket and create turnovers. The main question is how quickly that high-school production translates to SEC speed and hand-fighting inside.
