Clemson’s steady, veteran depth linebacker with spring-game pop
In 2026, Fletcher Cothran is a fifth-year Clemson linebacker who has been more of a depth-and-special-teams piece than a headline-maker, but his profile hints at dependable value: he’s 6-3, 220-225 pounds, has 12 career tackles, a forced fumble and a half-sack in just 36 defensive snaps, and he flashed with a team-high 10 tackles in Clemson’s 2026 spring game. The former walk-on’s appeal is toughness, familiarity with the system, and enough range to keep pushing for a bigger role—useful if your team wants a grinder who won’t blink at work.
