Branden Palmer is a depth DL with special-teams value and upside if he adds more mass
In the 2025 season, Branden Palmer played in eight games for Georgia Southern, mostly on special teams, and recorded one tackle while taking 45 special-teams snaps[1][2]. His current value is in his effort and versatility: the 6-2, 220-pound lineman has already earned game-day reps and showed up in a key moment with a special-teams tackle, but he still looks more like a developmental piece than an impact trench-eater right now[1][3]. If you want a high-motor, team-first DL who can help on coverage units and grow into a bigger role, Palmer is at least worth a long look[1][3].
