UTSA’s old-school thumper who could wreck a game from the second level
In the 2016 season, La'Kel Bass was a tone-setting linebacker for UTSA, tying the program’s single-season record with 11 tackles for loss and finishing with 78 tackles, five sacks, and three quarterback hurries—production that screams downhill violence and sideline-to-sideline hustle. Reliable UTSA and media coverage described him as part of a potent linebacker duo and a player who “makes plays any way he can,” which fits a high-motor, physical defender with real disruption skills. If your team wants a relentless run-stopper who brings juice and toughness, Bass is the kind of fit you’d want in the room.
