In the 2008 season, Ricky Ballou was one of Cornell’s top defensive end reserves, posting 9 total tackles and 1.5 sacks in seven games, including a career-high three tackles and a sack against Bucknell, plus a forced fumble.

If you want a dependable, high-motor disruptor rather than just a box-score giant, Ballou fits the bill.
