Solomon DeShields brings proven downhill production and special-teams value to Texas A&M
DeShields is a veteran linebacker who showed real playmaking ability at Pitt in 2023, posting 58 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks before giving Texas A&M a steady, physical presence in 2024 with 23 combined tackles and 0.5 sacks across 12 games.[2][1] His calling card is reliability as a tackler, blitz upside and extensive special-teams experience, while his athletic testing at A&M Pro Day — including 17 bench reps and a 37-inch vertical — suggests functional burst for an off-ball linebacker.[6][11]
