Cam Santee brings a tackling-machine upgrade to UNLV’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season at Holy Cross, Cam Santee posted 110 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and five pass breakups in 12 games, which explains why UNLV brought him in as a preseason All-Mountain West Fourth Team pick in 2026. His biggest appeal is classic middle-linebacker juice: downhill speed, disruptive playmaking, and a proven nose for finishing plays. At 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, he looks like a fit for a defense that wants an active, physical tone-setter in the middle.
