Troy’s interior anchor: Torre Lankford brings size, leverage, and trench toughness
Torre Lankford profiles as the kind of defensive tackle coaches love: a big-bodied interior presence who can clog run lanes, absorb blocks, and keep the middle honest for Troy. Listed on Troy’s 2026 roster as a 6-3, 296-pound senior, he fits the classic gap-eating DT mold with enough mass to anchor and enough length to disrupt timing inside.[1] His value is less about flashy stats and more about dirty-work impact—if your defense needs a dependable interior piece with veteran size and physicality, Lankford is a strong fit.[1]
