A tough, old-school linebacker who earned his respect the hard way
Sherwin Lavaka’s Weber State résumé screams dependable, physical, and no-nonsense: in the 2021 season, he started all 11 games, posted 42 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 3 quarterback hurries, and finished his Wildcats career with 72 tackles and twice earning All-Big Sky honors. He’s the kind of linebacker coaches trust because he’s selfless, assignment-solid, and built for trench-to-trenches football rather than highlight-reel flash. The big question is fit: if a team wants a tough, team-first defender with proven conference-level production and a work-ethic reputation, Lavaka checks plenty of boxes.
