Kyler Laing brings pro-ready juice to Mercyhurst’s front seven
Kyler Laing is a disruptive, veteran linebacker at Mercyhurst who pairs size (6-foot-2, 245) with proven backfield production: in the 2024 season, he logged 45 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 1 interception, and 1 pass defended over 17 games. He previously showed real edge-rushing pop at Buffalo, and that versatility makes him more than a box-score guy—he’s the kind of physical, assignment-sound defender who can stress protections, chase plays down, and give a defense some grown-man energy. He was also a 2026 CFL draft pick, which underscores his pro appeal.
