Air Force DE Jack Franklin: developmental edge rusher with size and academic polish
Franklin is a 6-foot-4, 240-pound sophomore defensive end at Air Force who arrived as a decorated high school standout, earning first-team all-district and all-region honors while graduating with a 4.29 GPA. Air Force’s roster notes he did not see action in 2024, so he profiles more as a developmental prospect than a proven producer right now. What makes him interesting is the combination of frame, intelligence, and the kind of discipline Air Force covets—traits that can translate well in a system that values toughness, assignment soundness, and steady growth.
