Weber State’s former projected starter whose career was derailed by injury
In the 2004 season, Mike Stroshine was a projected starting linebacker for Weber State, but a season-ending knee injury in fall practice wiped out his year before it began[1]. Earlier Weber State stat pages show he was active on defense in 2002-2003, including tackles for loss and multiple tackle totals, which points to an experienced, physical front-seven player when healthy[2][4]. The biggest differentiator here is not a box-score trait but resilience and upside: if a team values an experienced linebacker with starter-level pedigree, Stroshine fit that mold—health was the swing factor.
