Nyrel Sevilla brings production, leadership, and academic consistency to LIU’s linebacker room
Sevilla’s value is less about flashy counting stats and more about dependable, all-around linebacker play: in the 2024 season he appeared in nine games with 23 tackles and a forced fumble, after earning NEC Prime Performer recognition in 2023 and making the NEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.[2] At 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, he pairs size with a strong football pedigree—three-year team captain in high school, two-time all-county, three-time team MVP—and that suggests a disciplined, high-effort defender who can fit a program that wants toughness, reliability, and leadership.[2]
