Wake Forest’s sturdy edge with a track record of production
In the 2011 season, Tristan Dorty was a proven Wake Forest defensive end who played in 43 career games and totaled 128 tackles, which tells you he wasn’t just a body on the edge—he was a durable, experienced tone-setter. His value showed up in his ability to hold up against the run and bring steady, veteran edge play; that kind of reliability matters if you want a low-drama, high-motor defender who understands leverage and assignment football. He looks like a fit for a team that prizes toughness, consistency, and experience over flash.
