Sam Latham brings veteran edge-setting size and scheme versatility to Texas State
Sam Latham is a productive, physically imposing defensive end who showed real impact at Texas State in 2023, posting 15 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in just six games. Scouts describe him as intelligent, versatile, and mentally tough, with the ability to line up across multiple fronts and help both as a run defender and pass rusher. The one caution flag is durability, since his 2023 season ended with an undisclosed injury, but when healthy he looks like a strong fit for a defense that values flexibility and edge discipline.
