Cortez Tipton, whose relentless play has earned him the prestigious title of PFA 2025 3A Defensive End of the Year. Tipton’s season has been nothing short of dominant, as he racked up 57 tackles, 7 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries, proving to be one of the cornerstones of the Ravens’ defensive front. From the opening kickoff of the season, Tipton has set the tone with his explosive first step and ability to wreck opposing game plans. Whether collapsing the pocket on passing downs or sealing edges against the run, his versatility and intensity have made him nearly unblockable. His 7 sacks not only halted drives but also created momentum-shifting plays that swung games in Detroit’s favor. “Cortez is the definition of a difference-maker,” said a Ravens coach. “He brings energy every snap, and his ability to disrupt an offense changes how teams prepare for us.” Tipton’s impact goes beyond the stat sheet. His leadership, high motor, and ability to rise in critical moments have made him a cornerstone of the Ravens’ defensive identity. Opposing coordinators often had to assign double teams or alter their schemes just to slow him down. As the 2025 season closes, one thing is clear—Cortez Tipton is not just a star; he i’s a template for defensive excellence.
