David Nwabuisi brought veteran run support and tackling production to Northwestern’s linebacker room
David Nwabuisi was a productive Northwestern linebacker whose game was built on reliable tackling, run defense, and big-play disruption; ESPN lists him with 123 solo tackles, 2 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 4 interceptions over his college career, and Northwestern noted he led the defense in key games with high tackle totals and multiple tackles for loss in 2011-12. He stood out more for instincts, physicality, and consistency than flash, making him the kind of defender coaches trust in the middle of a defense. If you need a dependable, assignment-sound linebacker who can finish plays and add occasional turnover upside, he fits that profile well.
