BJ Ausmer brings an edge-rushing punch to Middle Tennessee
In the 2025 season at Mississippi Gulf Coast CC, BJ Ausmer posted 27 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, and 4.0 sacks, then arrived at Middle Tennessee as a 6-foot-2, 244-pound sophomore with a reputation for explosion and power off the edge.[3][7] His high-school résumé was even louder—83 tackles, 41 TFLs, and 23 sacks in his senior year at Ocean Springs, good for first-team all-state and a national sack ranking—so the appeal is clear: disruptive burst, backfield violence, and a motor built for pressure packages.[3] He looks like a fit for a team that wants a downhill, attacking outside linebacker who can change field position, not just fill gaps and smile politely.
