Emmanuel Balogun is a long, disruptive edge-forcing DL with upside
Balogun stands out because of his rare frame for the position—6-foot-7 and listed at 253 pounds on Marshall’s roster—and his quickness profile, including a reported 4.8-second 40 and 4.5 shuttle. In his Marshall seasons, he produced 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 2022 and 9 tackles in 2021, which suggests he’s been more of a rotational piece than a finished product so far. The appeal is the ceiling: length, athleticism, and multi-sport background, but he still looks like a development bet rather than an instant-impact DL.
