Armstrong finished the 2025 season with 84 total tackles (25 tackles for a loss), six forced fumbles, and nine sacks. Tough and physical, Armstrong comes off the ball low and explosive, enabling him to quickly penetrate the gap on a consistent basis. Lines up at both the edge and defensive tackle positions (I like him at DT the best). Has shown that he can power through double-teams. Plays with a relentless motor. Clearly the team’s best returning defensive lineman.

Boy does Darren Armstrong Darren Armstrong 6'0" | 265 lbs | DL/EDGE Episcopal | 2028 State VA sure seem like a pain to block playing for Episcopal High School. Whether it be at defensive end or tackle he is so strong and technical, it is going to be difficult for any lineman to block him one on one very soon. He racked up 9 sacks and 25 TFLS in 2025, his reach and bend are a matchup nightmare. Really like this spot at 93rd overall from him, 9th in his position group too. He will be an FCS or higher player when all is said and done.
