Doug Harding brings sturdy interior depth to NAU’s defensive front
Doug Harding projects as a useful Northern Arizona defensive lineman whose value is more about trench toughness than splashy box-score numbers. In 2026, NAU’s roster lists him among a deep DL group, which suggests he’s part of the rotation battle for snaps rather than a featured stat-stuffer[1]. At this stage, the main appeal is his potential to hold the point of attack, eat blocks, and give the Lumberjacks dependable interior size—exactly the kind of player a defense loves when the game gets ugly.
