Brock Sperling is a young, compact run-and-hit linebacker with real early sack pop
In the 2025 season, Western Illinois freshman linebacker Brock Sperling posted 7 total tackles, 5 solo tackles, 1 sack, and 2 assisted stops in limited action, a tidy first look for a 5-foot-11, 230-pound defender from Chicago. His high-school résumé was more loud than subtle: 85 tackles for loss, three-time all-conference honors, and a state title, which points to urgency, instinct, and finish. The fit is appealing if a team wants a physical, developmental LB who plays with edge and has already shown he can disrupt plays, not just collect them.
