Derrick Freeland Jr. brings veteran lineman pedigree and proven toughness to The Citadel
Derrick Freeland Jr. is a seasoned Citadel offensive lineman whose profile points to grit, leadership, and multi-sport toughness rather than splashy box-score numbers; his early recruiting notes praised him as a top offensive lineman in Mecklenburg County, a three-year football captain, and a state-championship contributor at Mallard Creek, while The Citadel’s roster listings still identify him as a Bulldog OL. For a team, he looks like the kind of lunch-pail blocker who fits a physical system: dependable, battle-tested, and wired for hard work—exactly the sort of player who makes a run game nastier and a locker room better.
