A sturdy, high-motor interior DL with proven high-school production
Kai Golden entered New Mexico State as a 6-foot-3, 295-pound defensive lineman from Tucson’s Mountain View, where he earned Arizona all-state honors and posted 63 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks as a senior in 2017—eye-catching production for an interior defender. His profile screams disruptive first-step power and leverage, with enough mass to hold the point and enough juice to collapse pockets. The upside is clear: if you need a tough, physical DL who plays with a nasty streak and doesn’t back down, Golden fits that bill.
