Bryce Houston: LB · Ohio · #32.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Bryce Houston
Is steady in every phase without a signature trait. The six seasons at Ohio span two head coaches: Frank Solich and Tim Albin. That makes two seasons with an honor, the latest All-MAC in 2023. A game that shows it: 15 tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss against Iowa State — Week 3, 2023.
Play style
Solid in every phase without a signature dimension.

What the box score actually says
128 tackles. 1 pass defended. 3 interceptions. 12.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
