explosive former UNC tackle with NFL-caliber upside and a relentless frame
In the 2007 season, Kentwan Balmer emerged as one of the ACC’s top defensive linemen for North Carolina, finishing with 59 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks while earning second-team All-ACC honors[1][14]. His calling card is a long, powerful 6-5, 298-pound frame and disruptive interior burst, but evaluators have also noted a motor that could drift at times, making consistency the separator between good and great[11][13]. If you want a stout DT with pro traits and upside, Balmer fits; if you need constant snap-to-snap chaos, that’s the part of the resume that drew the most questions[11].
