Veteran Stanford linebacker with NFL-size frame and an injury-tough résumé
Lane Veach was an ESPN top-100 outside linebacker recruit and brought rare length and physical upside to Stanford, but his career was heavily interrupted by injuries, limiting him to 12 games while still producing 70 tackles and 11.5 sacks in his Stanford career. His appeal is the blend of size, disruption, and persistence—he’s the kind of defender who can change a game when healthy, especially with his edge-setting and pass-rush flashes. If you value upside, toughness, and a player who has already fought through a lot, Veach is worth a hard look.
