Cornell’s veteran linebacker with proven knack for backfield disruption
In the 2019 season, Malik Leary was Cornell’s best backfield hunter, finishing sixth on the team with 37 tackles while leading the Big Red with 10.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack. That profile screams impact: quick trigger, downhill aggression, and a linebacker who can wreck plays before they start. The big caveat is that the available public data is old, and there’s no current 2026 production attached here, so the fit question depends on whether Cornell is looking for a tone-setter with proven disruption or a higher-volume tackler.
