Northern Colorado LB Zach Nowatzke brings production, versatility, and high-motor defense
Zach Nowatzke looks like a legit defensive centerpiece: in 2024 he was one of Northern Colorado’s top performers with 98 tackles, 41 solo stops, 5.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 interception, showing he can impact all three levels of the defense. He profiles as a physical, productive linebacker with pass-rush juice and turnover ability, plus the versatility to clean up plays sideline-to-sideline. If you want a linebacker who consistently shows up around the ball and can create negative plays, he’s worth a serious look.
