Physical, rising Drake linebacker with proven tackle volume
Poynton is a **6'2", 230-pound junior linebacker** at Drake who brings a strong, downhill, high-effort profile and has already shown production at the college level, including a reported career-high **21 tackles in Week 1** on social media. His background suggests a rugged, multi-sport edge—he was a standout high-school defender and a two-time state wrestling qualifier—which often translates to leverage, toughness, and reliability in contact. If you need a linebacker who can play with intensity and add physicality to the middle of the defense, he looks like a credible fit.
