Albany’s versatile former signal-caller with real football IQ
Neven Sussman’s most verifiable college impact came at Albany in the 2018 season, when he played all 11 games at linebacker and special teams, made three starts, and finished with 35 tackles and an interception, while also bringing a quarterback’s feel for the game from his earlier years. His calling card is versatility, toughness, and instincts—he’s the kind of player coaches trust in multiple phases because he understands leverage, timing, and where the ball is headed. That football IQ is the differentiator; he looks like a smart, high-effort fit for teams that value assignment-sound defense and special teams punch.
