Young UNH linebacker with starter-ready instincts
In the 2024 season, Seamus McDermott emerged as a productive, playmaking linebacker for New Hampshire, starting all 12 games he played, finishing with 55 tackles, two interceptions, and a forced fumble, while also showing big-moment range with a 17-yard pick return at Holy Cross[9]. At 6-0, 212-220 pounds, he profiles as a compact, active defender with production, ball skills, and enough toughness to handle downhill traffic[1][3]. The catch: he’s still a freshman, so the appeal is upside—if your team wants an energetic linebacker who already flashes impact instincts and special-teams value, he’s worth a serious look[1][3][9].
