Matt Putnam brings rare size and disruptive playmaking to BYU’s defensive line
Matt Putnam was a valuable BYU defensive lineman whose production stood out for more than just raw tackle totals: in his BYU career he logged 70 tackles, 13 pass breakups, 5.0 sacks and three forced fumbles, which points to a disruptive, high-motor edge presence who can affect throws and create turnovers. Listed by BYU at 6-6, 255 and by 247Sports as a 6-7, 225 weak-side end, he offered a long-limbed, scheme-flexible frame that could bother passing lanes and fit multiple front looks. He looks like a fit for teams valuing versatility, effort, and splash plays over pure bulk.
