Furman’s Intense, Data-Driven LB with 1 Sack and Rising Tackle Volume
Dylan Chiedo, a 6'2", 239-lb sophomore linebacker for Furman Paladins, stands out for his relentless intensity and rapid statistical growth: from 1 tackle in 2022 to 6 in 2024, including 1 sack and 1 pass defended. His differentiators include a high school legacy of 98 tackles leading Bartram Trail to a 9-3 record, a transfer to South Alabama in Jan 2026 (per 247Sports), and an active, injury-free status. Chiedo’s personality—driven, data-obsessed, and fiercely competitive—makes him a perfect fit for teams valuing intensity and adaptability. He’s not just a stat leader; he’s a culture setter.
