Veteran edge presence with proven disruption upside for SFA
Gary Sampson is a seasoned 6-foot-3, 280-pound defensive end for Stephen F. Austin who has shown real third-down value, including 16 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, and 3 quarterback hurries in his 2018 season with the Lumberjacks. His appeal is less about flashy box-score volume and more about a sturdy, versatile frame, experience across the defensive front, and a history of getting after the quarterback in key moments. If a team wants a reliable, physical edge setter with some pass-rush juice, Sampson fits the bill.
