Adrian Dahlene brings rangy, high-motor linebacker upside to Utah Tech
Adrian Dahlene is a 6-2, 215-pound linebacker for Utah Tech who arrived with real recruiting buzz and a production-heavy high school resume: in 2024 at Williams Field, he earned Arizona 6A East Valley First Team All-Region honors and finished with 103 tackles, including 48 solo stops, 6.0 tackles for loss, plus an interception, a forced fumble, three passes defended, and a quarterback hurry. Utah Tech’s coaching staff called him an athletic linebacker who runs very well, which fits a modern, sideline-to-sideline fit; the key question is how quickly that range and play speed translate against FCS offense speed.
