Austin Peay’s veteran DT John Houston Jr. brings old-school trench grit
John Houston Jr. is a seasoned Austin Peay defensive tackle with a long, physical build at 6-foot-2 and 274 pounds, giving the Governors an experienced interior anchor rather than a flashy stat-chaser. His edge is reliability and toughness in the middle, the kind of line-of-scrimmage presence that can absorb blocks, steady a defense, and let others make plays. For a team needing a disciplined, battle-tested run defender with veteran savvy, he looks like a fit for the dirty-work role that wins possessions.
