Redshirt LB with size, upside, and almost no on-field résumé yet
Jace Villers is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound redshirt sophomore linebacker at Northern Colorado, but his current performance profile is thin: he did not appear in any games in 2025, played in one game in 2024, and saw no action in 2023[2][7]. What makes him intriguing is the frame and developmental upside, plus the fact that Northern Colorado lists him as a linebacker after earlier roster listings showed him at other spots, hinting at versatility and a transition phase[2][6][14]. If a team wants a long-bodied, still-developing defender rather than an instant stat-sheet star, Villers is a worth-a-look project[2][7].
