Norfolk State DL with Proven Run-Stuffing Power
Walter Brantley, a 6-3, 330-pound nose tackle for the Norfolk State Spartans, burst onto the scene as a freshman with 38 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, and 2.5 sacks in 2017 while starting seven games, showcasing elite size, strength, and relentless interior disruption that clogs lanes and collapses pockets. Despite a junior-year injury sidelining him after five games with 10 tackles in 2018, his high school pedigree from Phoebus High (VA) highlights explosive athleticism for his frame, making him a dominant fit for 3-4 defenses needing a tone-setting big man with NFL upside—perfect if your team prioritizes trench warfare intensity.
