Penn State pass-rush throwback with real disruption pedigree
Justin Kurpeikis was a high-motor Penn State defensive end who finished his college career with 172 tackles, 17 sacks, and 43 tackles for loss in the 2000 season era, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors and team MVP recognition. He stood out for relentless edge pressure, toughness, and football IQ, plus the kind of workmanlike intensity coaches love and opponents hate. Off the field, his pre-med background and reputation for doing things the right way add a rare maturity factor. If you want a durable, disciplined, disruptive DE with proven production and leader energy, he fits the bill.
