Samford’s David Coltrane brings versatility and steady depth at linebacker
In the 2023 season, David Coltrane appeared in 11 games for Samford and recorded tackles against Auburn, VMI, and The Citadel, showing a reliable, assignment-sound presence rather than flashy box-score volume.[1] At 6-2, 220, he brings linebacker/safety versatility, which is a useful differentiator for sub-packages, special teams, and matchup flexibility.[1][2] The big takeaway: he looks like a tough, adaptable defender with room to grow into a bigger role—worth caring about if you value versatility, effort, and roster flexibility over pure headline stats.[1][2]
