Troy Waddell is a 2027 offensive and defensive lineman from Rutherford High in Rutherford, New Jersey, and a two-way starter who has not come off the field this fall. His senior season on defense has produced 18 tackles, 12 of them solo, four tackles for loss, two sacks, and two forced fumbles, a line that reads like a lineman who plays through the whistle. At 6'3 and 275 pounds he carries a college offensive-line frame, and the two-way workload matters to evaluators: a player who starts every snap on both sides has the conditioning and the toughness that staffs look for in interior linemen. The forced fumbles are worth an extra look, since a lineman who strips the ball is one who gets to the ball with intent. Bryant University offered in June, so the FCS market has already spoken. With a 3.2 GPA and a full season of two-way starts on film, Waddell is a two-star ONE11 prospect who should be on every Northeast board looking for a lineman with production and a motor.
