Temple’s old-school, hard-nosed linebacker with proven toughness
Blaze Caponegro fits the mold of a throwback linebacker: Temple listed him at 6-foot-1, 225 pounds and described him as one of the team’s toughest players, while his high school coach called him explosive, instinctive and a leader with real toughness. In his 2013 season, he worked through a shoulder injury history and still earned a single-digit jersey, a strong signal of trust and edge. He’s the kind of player you care about if you want physicality, football IQ and a no-nonsense culture fit.
