Experienced Toreros linebacker with steady production and special-teams value
Fernandes has been a reliable rotational linebacker for San Diego, appearing in seven games in 2024 after eight games in 2023, and he has shown real disruption upside with 1.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks in 2023 plus 0.5 tackles for loss in 2024.[1] The headline stat is modest, but the fit is appealing for a program that wants a physical, assignment-sound defender who has already proven he can contribute across multiple seasons and bring toughness from the second level.[1]
