Stanford’s experienced depth piece with legitimate trench pedigree
Alex Yazdi is a Stanford defensive tackle whose value comes from size, experience, and a blue-collar motor rather than flash; in his senior season in 2014, he appeared in five games and logged 0.5 tackle for loss, but his deeper appeal is the kind of reliability coaches like: a longtime lineman who was a three-year varsity letterwinner and a first-team all-region prep standout with 140 tackles and 14 sacks in high school. He profiles as a sturdy fit for teams wanting a disciplined interior defender and scout-team tone-setter, though his production record suggests more role player than impact star.[1]
