Tyler Rafferty brings Army-style toughness and developmental upside on the defensive line
Tyler Rafferty has already earned game action for Army, appearing in three games in 2023 and recording a quarterback hurry against Rice plus a tackle against UAB in 2024, which points to a rotational DL who can disrupt plays with effort and discipline.[1] A former all-state linebacker from Newburgh Free Academy, he arrived at West Point with a reputation for hard work and competitiveness, traits that fit Army’s physical, assignment-driven defense.[3][4] If you want a defender with baseline production and room to grow in a demanding system, he’s a strong culture fit.[1][3]
