Furman LB with Tackling Prowess and Athletic Upside
Class of 2023 standout Tate Wirth, a 6'2", 210lb LB from St. George's High School, joined the Furman Paladins as a freshman in 2023, bringing elite high school production like 55 total tackles (18th in TN DII-AA) and a blazing 4.31 shuttle time signaling explosive athleticism. Versatile athlete with basketball roots as SF/SG, his intensity and multi-sport background make him a sideline-to-sideline defender ideal for aggressive 3-4 schemes—watch for breakout potential if he bulks up and adapts to college speed.
