Southern Utah’s Sal Avila: a young linebacker still building, but with real tackle-bait upside
In 2024, Sal Avila did not see game action, but Southern Utah lists him as a redshirt sophomore linebacker at 6-foot-0, 190 pounds after a prep résumé that included 62 tackles, 29 solo stops, and five tackles for loss in his senior season at El Camino High School. That profile points to a developmental LB with downhill instincts and enough early production to suggest he can become a physical, assignment-sound piece if he keeps adding size and polish.
