Franklin Lloyd is Troy’s veteran NT, ready to anchor the trenches
In the 2005 season, Franklin Lloyd was projected to step into a starting role at nose tackle after three years as a valued reserve, and Troy’s notes call him a foundational piece in the middle of the defense[1]. At 6-foot-0 and 283 pounds, his value is less about flashy numbers and more about grunt work, leverage, and holding the point of attack; he’s the kind of interior defender who lets everyone else eat. If your team needs a steady, physical run-plugger with veteran experience and a blue-collar mindset, he looks like a strong fit[1][2].
