Ken Striggles brings old-school trench grit to Furman
Ken Striggles is a classic nose tackle build with a reputation for power and effort, and Furman’s archived notes describe him as a pass-rush-capable defender who posted a 303-pound power clean and was working to earn early playing time after switching from tight end to defense. In the 2002 Furman materials, he was listed at 6-1, 262 pounds as a redshirt freshman, and the buzz around him centered on explosiveness, toughness, and special-teams value. If you want a low-flash, high-discipline interior defender who can eat blocks and bring some nastiness, he fits the bill.
