LaVonta Bentley brings veteran punch to Colorado’s linebacker room
Bentley is a seasoned, physical inside linebacker who has been productive for Colorado, posting 55 tackles in the 2024 season after a bigger 2023 season with 68 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks. He stands out for his downhill trigger, big-game experience, and versatility after transferring from Clemson, where he already had 68 career tackles and 5.5 sacks. The fit is strong for teams that want a tough, proven, high-motor defender who can plug gaps, rush the passer in spots, and bring leadership energy to the middle of the defense.
