Veteran Ball State DT John Whitman III brings proven disruption and trench toughness
John Whitman III is a seasoned interior defender who, in the 2016 season, posted 22 tackles and 2.5 sacks after a 30-tackle campaign the year before, showing he can hold up inside and still create backfield pressure.[1] At 6-foot-1 and 299 pounds, he brings a compact, sturdy frame and the kind of plug-the-gap physicality that coaches love in a defensive tackle.[2] If you need a low-drama, high-effort interior presence who understands leverage and dirty-work football, he’s a strong fit.
