Cole Schnettgoecke brings size, experience, and inside-line grit to NMSU
A 6'2", 300-pound defensive lineman for New Mexico State, Schnettgoecke has shown steady production and versatility, with 2025 stat lines showing 28 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks, plus a QB hurry and pass breakup in team defensive leaders data[1][13][15]. The appeal here is less flash and more trench usefulness: he’s an experienced, active interior presence who can absorb contact, stay in the fight, and create occasional disruption, which makes him a practical fit for teams needing a dependable DL rotation piece[1][4][6].
