Jordan Kramer’s a tackle-hungry throwback who can flip a game with hustle and ball production
In the 2000 and 2002 seasons at Idaho, Jordan Kramer showed the kind of linebacker traits coaches love: volume tackling, playmaking instincts, and a knack for showing up around the ball, including 62 tackles in 2000, 17 tackles in a 2002 game vs. New Mexico State, a forced fumble, and an interception return for 40 yards in a Big West weekly honor performance. Reliable historical coverage paints him as an active, physical defender with strong run support and “everywhere” energy — the kind of player who raises a defense’s intensity and fits best with a team that values instincts, pursuit, and toughness over pure measurables.
