Hampton Pirates DE with Modest Stats, Untapped Upside
Junior defensive end Malachi Calhoun has tallied just 7 tackles (4 solo) in the 2025 season for Hampton, playing in one game amid a thin stat line that screams limited snaps or adjustment challenges from high school ball. At 6'4", 225 lbs, his length and DE frame stand out as differentiators, echoing his Texas roots with solid high school tackling averages (7 per game in 2020-21 at Newman Smith). Reliable sources see raw athleticism via Hudl highlights, but he's no stat leader—ideal for depth or developmental programs seeking high-motor projects over proven producers.
