Big-bodied FIU edge presence with power-first upside
Cody Horstman entered FIU as a 6-foot-3 defensive end with a frame that grew from about 220 pounds in recruiting to 270 on the FIU roster, a strong indicator of a true edge/line-of-scrimmage build rather than a finesse-only rusher. He was a modestly ranked recruit (247Sports listed him outside the top national tier), but his size progression suggests a player suited to setting the edge, absorbing contact, and developing into a sturdy run defender. If your team wants a physical DE with growth potential and room to add polish, Horstman is the kind of project worth watching.
