Leon Beckum was a tough, productive weak-side linebacker for Indiana
In his 2011 senior season, Leon Beckum started all six games he played for Indiana, finished fourth on the team with 53 tackles, added 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks, and showed real disruption once healthy after a knee injury early in the year.[1] What makes him interesting is the combination of proven production, edge-setting linebacker play, and leadership—he was a three-time game captain and earned IU defensive player of the week honors after a 13-tackle game at Northwestern.[1] If you value a physical, experienced linebacker who brings effort, toughness, and accountability, Beckum fits that mold.[1]
