VMI freshman DL David Czapp brings size, early snaps, and a blue-collar edge
In the 2026 season, freshman defensive lineman David Czapp has already appeared in VMI’s first two games and logged 4 tackles, showing immediate rotational value for a young Keydets front[1][5]. At 6-2, 257 pounds, he was recruited as a big-bodied trench player with a résumé that included First Team All-State honors, YAIAA Defensive Player of the Year, 70 tackles, and 4 sacks in high school[12][14]. The appeal is simple: he looks built for physical, inside-out work, and VMI’s staff clearly trusts him to contribute early rather than redshirt and marinate.
