a one-tackle ASU linebacker snapshot, built on grind and glue-guy value
Andy Howe’s public stat line for Arizona State is extremely small in the available records—his 2006 season shows 1 total tackle and 1 solo tackle—but the bigger story is the kind of linebacker he was: a junior-college transfer who earned praise for winter strength work, made his ASU debut against Stanford, and was described as a hard-hat, workmanlike defender. He looks like a depth-and-discipline fit more than a box-score monster, which is exactly the kind of player coaches trust when they want toughness, effort, and reliability.
