Nick Usher brings disruptive edge to UTEP’s front seven
Nick Usher is listed here as a UTEP linebacker, but the available sources show he later developed into a pro-caliber defensive lineman/edge defender with the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he has been praised for being “ruthless and tenacious” and recently produced steady pressure and backfield disruption.[1][4][8] At UTEP in the 2016 season, he started all 12 games and logged 46 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 5 quarterback hurries, and a blocked kick, signaling a high-motor playmaker who can affect games beyond raw tackle totals.[5]
