Drew Jensen brings instincts and ball production to BYU’s defense
Drew Jensen has shown the traits of a disruptive, high-IQ linebacker: in the 2021 season for BYU, he recorded 22 solo tackles, 2 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, and 0.5 sacks, with a notable clutch pick against Virginia that helped swing a game[7][5]. Recruiting evaluators also credited him with strong ball skills, playmaking, and instincts, and BYU listed him as an honorable-mention all-conference defender out of Brighton High[3][6]. The biggest differentiator is his ability to turn awareness into impact plays; the main caution is his injury history, which reportedly interrupted his football path before he moved on from the sport[8].
