Princeton captain Bob Farrell brought blue-collar production and leadership to the Ivy League linebacking corps
In the 2001 season, Bob Farrell was Princeton’s captain and a First-Team All-Ivy honorable mention linebacker, finishing third on the team with 60 tackles, including 39 solo stops, plus 3 sacks and an interception[5]. He stood out less as a headline-chasing stat machine and more as a reliable tone-setter: physical, consistent, and respected enough to lead the unit, with one Princeton note also crediting him for 32 tackles, 3 sacks and an interception the prior season[2][6]. If you want a steady, instinctive linebacker who does the dirty work and raises the floor of a defense, Farrell fits the bill.
