Nolan Ogburn brings blue-collar linebacker production and instant toughness to Ohio
In the 2025 season, Nolan Ogburn was a disruptive, high-motor defender at Archbishop Alter, finishing his prep career with 302 total tackles, 65 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, and five recoveries while earning First Team All-State and GCL Defensive Player of the Year honors. Listed at 6-2, 240, he fits the mold of a physically ready LB who plays with violence, urgency, and edge—exactly the kind of no-nonsense defender that gets coaches grinning. The appeal is simple: he’s a proven tackler, a playmaker in the backfield, and a captain-level competitor who already looked like a varsity grown-up.
