A Wisconsin-bred defensive lineman who spent five seasons grinding as a rotational piece up front in Pittsburgh before a fresh start.
Isaiahh Loudermilk built his reputation the old-fashioned way, as a run-stuffing defensive tackle who logged snaps in the trenches without ever chasing the spotlight. After five years with the Steelers, he heads into a new chapter of his career carrying a reputation for physicality and dependability.
Path to the league
Loudermilk played five seasons at Wisconsin from 2016 to 2020, earning Third-Team All-Big Ten honors in his final year while racking up 7.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss across his college career. The Steelers selected him in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Across his five seasons in Pittsburgh, Loudermilk appeared in 60 games, carving out a role as a run-defending interior lineman. He finished his Steelers tenure with one sack, 63 tackles and a quarterback hit, numbers that undersell his value as a rotational body who ate up blocks in the trenches.
2025 season recap
Loudermilk's 2025 season in Pittsburgh was limited, as he appeared in just a handful of games. It marked a lighter workload than in years past before he moved on from the Steelers organization that had drafted him.
