Markis Deal

Dean Kindig

: As a 6-foot-5, 325-pound force in the middle, Deal played a vital role in plugging up gaps and limiting North Carolina's ground game. His presence allowed TCU's edge rushers and linebackers to roam freely. Deal's highly effective interior run-defense execution earned him an above-average 66.4 PFF defensive grade. AT TCU 2025, SOPHOMORE (13/13): Played and started every game at defensive tackle. Had 26 tackles along with two TFLs and a sack. Eclipsed three tackles four different times.
