Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Timmy Horne
Wins the gap play after play. The five seasons span two programs and three head coaches: Brad Lambert, Will Healy and Chris Klieman. The first career honor came in 2020: All-Conference USA. One game to point at: 3 tackles against TCU — Week 9, 2021.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
20 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 3 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.
