Stanford’s developmental linebacker with athletic upside
Bo Tate is still early in his Stanford career — the official roster lists him as a freshman who did not appear in a game in 2024 — so the appeal is upside, not proven production. Stanford’s game-rating data suggests a useful athletic baseline for a linebacker, with strong acceleration (85) and solid strength (81), which points to a player who can close space and hold up physically if he develops technically. For a team, he looks like a classic fit-and-groom prospect rather than an instant-impact defender.
