Latvian DT Powerhouse Turning Heads in NFL IPP Pipeline
At 6'6", 310-pound Liberty Flames nose guard Ralfs Rusins, the rare Latvian import since 2015, anchored the Flames' rise from FCS playoffs to FBS top-25 with 130 career tackles, 15.5 TFLs, and 6 sacks—peaking at 35 tackles, 6 TFL, 3 sacks in 2021. His raw athleticism, 36 starts, and Hula Bowl showcase have NFL scouts split on nose tackle vs. OL versatility; a gritty, program-elevating force ideal for teams needing interior disruptors with international intrigue and proven run-stuffing intensity.
