UC Davis LB James Scharetg: Reliable, Physical, and Built for the Dirty Work
James Scharetg stands out as a steady, assignment-sound linebacker who earned meaningful snaps early at UC Davis and produced 25 tackles with 2.0 sacks in his first Aggie season, then added 11 tackles in five games the next year[1][4][5]. His value is less about gaudy volume and more about toughness, instinct, and doing the unglamorous work well—he’s the kind of defender coaches trust in run support and on special teams[1][5]. If you want a physical, depth-friendly linebacker with proven production and a blue-collar profile, he fits that mold.
