Freshman LB Frederick Borkey Emerges as New Haven's Sack Specialist with 2.5 QB Takedowns in 8 Games
Frederick Borkey, a true freshman linebacker from Cleveland, Ohio, leads the New Haven Chargers' front seven in 2025 with 5 tackles, 2.5 sacks for -8 yards, and a forced fumble across 8 games, highlighted by 1.5 sacks in a gritty 35-20 loss to Sacred Heart[1][5]. His explosive pass-rush ability and motor stand out for a rookie, transitioning seamlessly from St. Thomas More HS where he excelled as a WR/SS hybrid[7]. No injury red flags, high-intensity playmaker with NFL measurables potential—perfect fit for teams needing immediate D-line disruption and special teams spark. Why care? He's a diamond-in-the-rough freshman dominating DII already.[1][5]
