Jordan Franklin brings veteran, disruption-first juice to UC Davis up front
In the 2019 season, Jordan Franklin was a productive, experienced UC Davis defensive lineman who started six games, logged 16 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, a fumble recovery, and even an assist sack—proof he could affect plays beyond the box score. UC Davis’s own preview described him as one of the unit’s most experienced returning starters, and his profile hints at a tough, assignment-sound lineman who can slide into nose tackle or interior snaps and make life annoying for offenses. If your team wants a seasoned interior defender with disruptive flashes and steadiness, he fits the bill.
