a high-motor Spartan linebacker with brains, bite, and special-teams swagger
In the 2010 season, Jon Misch was a reliable Michigan State linebacker and special-teams captain who appeared in all 13 games, started three times, and finished with a career-high 31 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. He stood out less as a stat-stuffer and more as a technician: strong hands, good gap discipline, quick reads, and a reputation for toughness and football IQ. He also brought rare off-field polish—teammates and coaches praised his work ethic, leadership, and calm personality, plus he was a classical pianist. Good fit? Absolutely for teams that value smart, physical, assignment-sound defenders.
