Najae Hallenbeck brings veteran size, proven disruption, and interior power to Southern Miss
Hallenbeck is a **6-foot-5, 350-pound redshirt senior** who arrives at Southern Miss after productive stops at Wagner and Lackawanna, where he showed real pass-rush impact for a defensive lineman: in 2024 at Wagner, he logged **22 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks**, and he posted **16 stops, 5.5 TFLs, and 4.5 sacks** at Lackawanna in 2022. His calling card is uncommon mass with enough burst to finish plays, making him more than just a space-eater. The fit is strongest for teams wanting a physical, experienced interior DL who can collapse pockets and hold up against the run.
