SJSU's Tackling Machine with Breakout 2025 Campaign
San Jose State LB Noah McNeal-Franklin exploded in 2025 with career-highs of 64 tackles, 6 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 2 PBUs across all 12 games, capping a 117-tackle career that showcases his relentless pursuit and sideline-to-sideline speed. A Vallejo native with proven durability—no major injuries—and rising intensity as a starter, he's a heat-seeking missile against the run, ideal for teams needing an instinctive, high-motor linebacker who elevates defenses in conference play. Watch for NFL draft buzz if he sustains this trajectory.
