Georgia Southern’s tackling machine and tone-setter at linebacker
In the 2006 season, John Mohring was a first-team AFCA All-American, a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, and Georgia Southern’s fifth all-time leading tackler with 302 career stops, which tells you everything about his range, instincts, and reliability.[3][12] He was a four-year starter and team captain who also earned MVP honors for the Eagles in 2005 and 2006, so his value went well beyond the stat sheet: he brought leadership, toughness, and a relentless edge that coaches love in the middle of a defense.[3][7]
