Derrek Upshaw gives Troy a sturdy, disruptive interior presence at DT
Upshaw profiles as a classic interior anchor with proven disruption upside: at Northeast Mississippi CC in the 2024 season, he posted 45 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks, which points to a lineman who can both hold his ground and penetrate into the backfield. At 6-2, 287, he brings the size and leverage teams want inside, and his production suggests a high-effort, impact player rather than just a space-eater. If Troy wants a physical, assignment-sound tackle with pass-rush juice, he looks like a strong fit.
