Anfernee Orji brings SEC-tested tackling, range, and toughness to the linebacker spot
Orji is a physical, high-motor linebacker whose calling card was production and durability at Vanderbilt, where he led the team in tackles three straight years and finished his college career with 32 straight starts. He adds sideline-to-sideline speed, with an official 4.53-second 40-yard dash at the 2023 combine, and brings a reputation for improving his mental game and handling a demanding role. He fits best as a dependable, instinctive defender who can plug gaps, chase plays, and set a tone in the front seven.
