A hard-nosed Temple linebacker with blue-collar roots
In the 2006 season, Ryan Herting was a 6-foot-2, 215-pound redshirt sophomore linebacker at Temple, a local Harrisburg product who earned first-team all-state honors in high school and arrived as a transfer from Pittsburgh. He looks like the kind of player coaches trust: tough, experienced for his class, and built for special-teams or depth-role impact rather than headline-grabbing stats. His value is in reliability, football IQ, and a willingness to grind—good fit energy for a team that wants a disciplined, physical linebacker who will do the unglamorous work.
