Dani Dennis-Sutton returns to Penn State in 2025 as one of the most experienced and productive edge defenders in the country. A former 5-star recruit, he enters his senior season with 85 total tackles, 15 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 4 forced fumbles, and is tied for the most valuable returning Power Four edge rusher by PFF’s Wins Above Average metric. Dennis-Sutton thrives as a run defender, using his power, length, and leverage to stack and shed at the point of attack while maintaining discipline on the edge. His motor runs hot, often generating second-effort plays and backside pursuit tackles. As a pass rusher, he brings a strong bull rush and flashes of inside counters, but his lack of flexibility and first-step explosiveness limits his ability to consistently win around the arc. He fits best in a 4-3 base defense as a strong-side end with potential for rotational snaps in odd fronts and heavy sub-packages. With another year of technical refinement—particularly in his pass-rush arsenal and get-off—Dennis-Sutton profiles as an immediate-impact run defender with top-20 pick potential in the 2026 NFL Draft.
