a downhill, production-heavy linebacker who became UCF’s tone-setter
In the 2025 season, Cole Kozlowski emerged as a legit Big 12 impact linebacker for UCF, finishing with 82 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, a forced fumble and 3 pass breakups after starting the final eight games. His calling card is instinctive, physical run support with enough range to pile up splash plays, and his 2024 Colgate tape showed the same production edge with 133 tackles and 8.0 TFLs. He looks like the kind of tough, assignment-sound defender coaches trust fast—if you want a worker who brings urgency and backfield disruption, this is your guy.
