Dilan Battle brings SEC-sized upside to Utah’s defensive tackle room
Battle is a 6-foot-2, 320-pound sophomore DT who arrived at Utah after a spring stint at LSU, and the early buzz is all about his explosion, strength, and immediate rotational potential in 2026. He did not see game action in 2025, but Utah staff has said he’s been making progress while rehabbing back to full health, which matters because his frame and burst fit the Utes’ physical identity. If you want a plug-and-play run stopper with upside, he’s a worthwhile watch; if you need proven production, he’s still a projection.
