Hank Grenda adds size and inside-linebacker versatility at Ball State
Grenda is a **6-0, 226-pound redshirt junior inside linebacker** on Ball State’s roster, giving the Cardinals a thick, physical presence in the middle of the defense.[1] With his frame, his value is likely as a downhill run defender and contact-heavy tackler rather than a pure space player, which can fit teams that want a linebacker who can absorb blocks, stay sturdy near the line, and bring reliable interior toughness. Publicly available results do not show recent Ball State game production or injury details, so his current impact is best judged from role, size, and projection rather than stat-leader numbers.[1]
