Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Ifeanyi Maijeh
Wins the gap play after play. The five seasons span two programs and three head coaches: Ed Foley, Rod Carey and Greg Schiano. First career honor, 2019: All-AAC. One game to point at: 6 tackles against Penn State — Week 12, 2022.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.
Activity vs finishing · season enumeration
What the box score actually says
39 tackles. 1 pass defended. 0 interceptions. 2.5 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.
