Akron linebacker Jason Hocker brings size, speed, and developing playmaking upside
Jason Hocker is a **redshirt sophomore linebacker** for Akron who earned a **55 overall** in EA Sports College Football 26, with athletic traits that stand out more than his current stat line: **80 acceleration**, **74 speed**, **75 strength**, **73 pursuit**, and **73 hit power** suggest a physical, downhill defender who can close space and finish tackles.[1][5] He was a **three-star recruit** and a **top-20 player in Kentucky** out of Bryan Station, where he set the school tackle record and started all four years, which points to a high-motor, durable profile worth developing.[5]
