Nii Lartey brought edge and disruption to Austin Peay’s defensive line
Nii Lartey was a compact, hard-nosed Austin Peay defensive end who consistently showed up against the run and in the backfield; in his final 2014 season, he posted 9 tackles, and in his career finale against Tennessee Tech he logged 12 tackles with 3.0 tackles for loss. He looks like the kind of defender who brings effort, leverage, and a little nasty to the front seven rather than flashy size-measurement hype. For a team needing an energetic edge setter who finishes plays and doesn’t shy away from contact, he fits the bill.
