Reliable Depth Linebacker and Special Teams Contributor at Old Dominion
In the 2025 season, AJ Ashworth played in all 13 games for Old Dominion, mostly on special teams, and finished with 11 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and a forced fumble, showing dependable effort and enough physicality to make plays when called upon. At 6-foot-0 and 225 pounds, he profiles as a rugged, assignment-oriented linebacker whose value comes more from toughness, consistency, and willingness to do the dirty work than eye-popping box scores. For a team, he looks like a trustworthy depth piece and culture fit rather than an instant stat-sheet star.
