Veteran, assignment-sound linebacker with Big Sky pedigree
Ian Crocker is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound Portland State linebacker whose value shows up in consistency, football IQ, and special-teams flexibility rather than flashy stat-stuffing. In the 2022 season, he played in all 11 games and made 18 tackles with one tackle for loss, and his Portland State bio notes he was earning more linebacker snaps while continuing to contribute on special teams. He also brought proven production from Simon Fraser, where he finished third in the GNAC in tackles per game in 2019. If a team wants a dependable, academic-minded, assignment-clean defender who can play physical and keep the unit organized, he’s the kind of guy coaches trust.
