Ben Sowders gives Western Kentucky a proven, homegrown linebacker presence with playmaking instincts
Sowders has been a productive **Western Kentucky linebacker** with **27 solo tackles, 1 sack, 0 forced fumbles, and 0 interceptions** in the available season stats, and his Bowling Green background gives him a local, well-schooled feel for the program[1]. For a team fit, the appeal is his steady tackle production and clear defensive role rather than flashy turnover numbers, while the bigger differentiator is that he has a football lineage and history with WKU that suggest comfort, toughness, and strong scheme familiarity[1][8].
