Deonta Tate brings steady linebacker production and backfield pressure to Youngstown State
Deonta Tate is a dependable Youngstown State linebacker whose value shows up in the dirty-work metrics: in the 2010 season, he logged 43 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and three quarterback hurries, with a season-high nine tackles in a game. That profile points to a physical, assignment-sound defender who can pursue, finish, and disrupt plays without needing the spotlight. If you want a linebacker who looks active, tough, and useful in multiple run-and-pressure situations, Tate fits the mold.
