Cornell’s tackle-eating linebacker with proven backfield juice
In the 2025 season, Joey Cheshire has been a steadying force for Cornell’s defense, and his profile screams “see ball, get ball” with production that includes 73 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, and a forced fumble while starting all 10 games[7]. He also flashed impact-play ability in 2024 with 63 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks, plus a season-high 10 stops against Columbia[1]. At 6-1, 235 pounds, he brings downhill physicality, sideline-to-sideline effort, and reliable run support—good fit for a team needing a rugged, high-motor linebacker who shows up every week[1][4].
