Listed Measurements: 6-foot-1 u215c, 308 pounds.
2019-20 year, eligibility: A sophomore, Franklin still has all four seasons of eligibility remaining, including 2019.
Depth chart: If healthy, Franklin would be the backup nose tackle to junior Kurt Hinish. If that health had included a strong spring, the starting gig may even be considered a timeshare. Instead, Franklin is presumably on the third-string behind early-enrolled freshman Jacob Lacey, who is healthy and did have a strong spring.
Recruiting: A consensus three-star prospect, Franklin chose Notre Dame over finalists Wisconsin and nearby Virginia and Virginia Tech, being from neighboring Maryland, himself.
