Anthony Quinney brings veteran linebacker production and tone-setting toughness to Western Illinois
In the 2023 season, Anthony Quinney played in 11 games and posted 45 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 3 pass breakups, and a fumble recovery for Western Illinois, after a 2022 season that included 44 tackles and a career-high 15-tackle game.[3][5] The clear differentiator is his instinctive, physical run support and multi-year track record of showing up around the ball, plus he was described as a captain and a scout-team standard-setter, which hints at leadership, prep habits, and reliability beyond the box score.[3][14] He looks like a fit for a team wanting a tough, experienced linebacker who can diagnose quickly, tackle consistently, and bring a little edge to the defense.[3][11]
