Sam Oppenheimer is a tackling-machine linebacker with big-play punch for Maine
In the 2026 season, Sam Oppenheimer has already flashed impact-play ability for Maine, including a forced fumble in the opener at Towson and a game-high 10 tackles in that win. In the 2025 season, he played in all 12 games with 35 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, eight QB hurries and two pass breakups, which screams disruptive, downhill linebacker play. At 5-11, 222, he’s compact, physical and productive, with proven captain/MVP pedigree from high school and a reputation for bringing juice and urgency. If you want a linebacker who plays with edge and can affect the quarterback, he’s your guy.
