Jace Sweeten is Utah Tech’s homegrown inside-linebacker riser
In the 2024 season, Jace Sweeten logged 18 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 fumble recovery in nine reserve games for Utah Tech, and he entered 2025 as the Trailblazers’ lone returning inside linebacker. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, he brings local familiarity, steady development, and a blue-collar fit that coaches clearly trust; he also said he chose Utah Tech for the coaches and culture. The upside case is simple: dependable depth now, with room to grow into a bigger defensive role.
