Evan DiMaggio is Furman’s tone-setting, all-conference linebacker
DiMaggio is the kind of inside linebacker coaches trust: a 6-3, 234-pound veteran who paired **120 tackles in 2024** with disruptive production in the backfield, and he has the résumé to back it up—**285 career tackles** across 54 games, consensus All-SoCon, and national All-America recognition.[4] Furman’s staff praised his blend of **size, speed, intelligence, and toughness**, and his game film shows a player who can stack the run, chase sideline to sideline, and flash as a blitzer; he also brings strong academics and proven durability, making him a strong fit for a defense that wants an experienced, high-motor field general.[3][4]
