Ball State LB with Monster High School Tackling Pedigree
Sam Helm, Ball State Cardinals linebacker from the class of 2017, exploded in high school with 167 total tackles, 102 solo, and 12.8 tackles per game—massively outpacing national averages of 20 total and 2.8 per game—showcasing elite instincts and relentless pursuit as an OLB/MLB[2]. A tackling machine differentiator, his sideline-to-sideline speed and football IQ make him a tone-setter for MAC defenses, though limited college stats suggest he's a developmental gem without notable injury flags. Care because he's raw upside; perfect fit for teams needing instinctive, high-motor LBs to swarm the ball.
