Norman-Lott (6-2, 291) spent three seasons at Arizona State before transferring to Tennessee in 2023, where he played the past two seasons. In 2024, he appeared in 13 games (all as a reserve), recording 18 tackles (four for loss) and four sacks, per Sports Reference.
Over his five-year college career, Norman-Lott totaled 89 tackles (17 for loss), 13.5 sacks, and two passes defensed. His two seasons at Tennessee accounted for 44 tackles (10 for loss) and 9.5 sacks.
Norman-Lott was among the participants at the NFL Scouting Combine. While he did not run the 40-yard dash, he recorded a 31.5-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot, 5-inch broad jump.
Pro Football Focus ranks Norman-Lott as the No. 9 interior defensive lineman on its pre-draft big board and No. 66 player overall. While he earned a 69.4 overall grade in 2024, his 81.6 pass-rush grade was a career best.
