Dean Kindig

2 solos, 1 sack, 1 TFL vs KY. Buzz: "Echoles makes his money against the run. He wins at the point of attack with heavy hands and a low base"

Bear Alexander

Dean Kindig

Beane and I like our interior defensive linemen to be versatile 1-tech/3-tech guys. Add in "get home" ability with lots of sacks/TFLs to add to constant pressures. Beane's DT archetype seems to be in the 296-320 lb range, and that's Bear. Alexander was active in the 2025 whiteout 2-OT scouted win over PSU with 2 solos and 3 assists. He had a fumble recovery in the Oregon State game, also scouted, and 3 solos/1 assist in the Rutgers game. Alexander has traveled around, previously for the Georgia Bulldogs and the USC Trojans. I expect we'll see at least one DT hear his name called in April 2027.
