Sam McGivern is a promising Yale sophomore DL with size and upside
McGivern enters 2025 as an **active Yale defensive lineman** listed at **6-foot-2, 255 pounds**, giving him a sturdy frame for the Ivy League front. Yale’s roster lists no official game statistics yet, so his value is more about projection than production right now[4]. For a team, the appeal is developmental upside: a young interior defender with the build to add strength, improve leverage, and grow into a reliable rotational role if his technique and hand usage keep progressing.
