CMU's Under-the-Radar LB with Limited but Promising Chippewa Action
Trevor Conklin, a 5-11, 220-lb linebacker from Chesterfield, MI, appeared in eight games for Central Michigan in the 2017 season, logging three tackles including a solo stop at Boston College and assists against Rhode Island and Ohio—solid depth contributions for a sophomore in the MAC. Transitioning from WR at University of Findlay (six catches for 77 yards in 2015) and high school versatility at L'Anse Creuse North, his compact build and multi-phase athleticism highlight differentiators like tackling grit and positional adaptability. No recent stats post-2017 suggest he's a developmental prospect; ideal for teams seeking intense, undersized hustlers with CMU pedigree, but verify current status as low-volume play limits NFL projection.
