Randy Samuels brings playmaking, disruption, and veteran linebacker grit to Maine
In the 2014 season, Randy Samuels was a difference-maker for Maine, logging 38 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 interceptions in nine games with four starts[1]. What makes him interesting isn’t just the splash plays — it’s the all-around linebacker profile: he showed rangy production, backfield disruption, and ball skills, plus a knack for starting fast with career-high seven-tackle games early that season[1]. Former Maine coach Joe Harasymiak was also praised as someone who gets the best out of his players, which fits Samuels’ reputation as a high-impact, value-added defender[10].
