Colgate’s battle-tested captain and tackling tone-setter
In 2024, Slivka was a fifth-year captain for Colgate and came back from a season-ending injury that limited his 2023 season to 7 games; he still posted 27 tackles, and he’s the kind of linebacker teams love for leadership, resilience, and steadiness more than flash. His value is in the intangibles: repeat captaincy, proven toughness, and a reputation as a defensive organizer who can stabilize a room and raise the standard. If your team wants a vocal, dependable LB who brings veteran presence and competitive edge, Slivka fits the bill.
