Akron’s young edge defender brings length, recruiting buzz, and long-term upside
Tristen Graham is a freshman DL for Akron who arrived with real recruiting cred: he was a three-star prospect, ranked the No. 1 edge rusher in Delaware and the No. 1 player in the state by 247Sports, and was listed at 6-3, 245 pounds after signing in 2024. He redshirted in 2024 and has no available game log yet, so the bet here is on projection—long frame, power upside, and developmental runway. If you want an athlete with traits and ceiling rather than proven production, he’s a name worth tracking.
