KJ Sampson brings steady interior depth and a blue-collar motor to Florida State’s DL
In the 2025 season, KJ Sampson played 10 games for Florida State and recorded 11 tackles with 1.5 tackles for loss, showing useful rotational production from the defensive interior. At 6-foot-3 and rated 77 in EA Sports College Football 26, he profiles as a sturdy, dependable lineman rather than a headline-grabber — the kind of player coaches like because he can survive the trenches, hold his ground, and do the dirty work. His background as a high-motor prep standout and Scout Team Player of the Year nod also suggests a worker who fits best on a roster that values effort and depth.
