Kent State’s old-school trench grinder with state-runner-up pedigree
Memel arrived at Kent State as a 6-4, 295-pound defensive lineman from Parkersburg South, where he helped power a 12-2 season and a West Virginia state runner-up finish, plus earned second-team all-state honors as a junior. His calling card is classic interior-line toughness: size, leverage, and a proven track record as a high-school winner, which suggests he fits a program that values physicality and development in the trenches. The downside? Publicly available current-production stats are limited, so the case for him leans more on frame, pedigree, and role fit than splashy numbers.
