Eric Westmoreland is a rugged, championship-caliber linebacker who brought toughness and range to Tennessee
In the 1998 season, Eric Westmoreland was a three-year starter for Tennessee and helped the Vols win the national title, earning a reputation as a solid all-around linebacker with strong field awareness, control, and quickness. He finished his Tennessee career with 253 tackles, 6 sacks, and 34 tackles for loss, numbers that fit a player who consistently found the ball and played downhill. The differentiator is the football personality: disciplined, reliable, and physical without being reckless — the kind of defender coaches trust to steady a defense.
