disruptive, ascending Colorado State DL with sack pop
Kennedy McDowell has been a useful rotational piece for Colorado State, showing a quick first step and legit backfield disruption in the 2024 season, when he played in 10 games and posted 8 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. He was a 3-star recruit out of Frisco, Texas, and his profile hints at upside beyond the box score: he’s long, athletic, and even a track standout, which fits a high-motor edge/line role. If your team wants an under-the-radar defender with developmental juice and splash-play ability, he’s worth a hard look.
