Cornell’s turnover-forcing linebacker who makes plays behind the line
In the 2025 season, Ben Sahakian emerged as one of Cornell’s most disruptive defenders, earning Second Team All-Ivy honors after posting 35 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles, which ranked among the best in the Ivy League and nationally. His value goes beyond box-score production: Cornell described him as one of its most productive pass rushers and playmakers, and his knack for timely takeaways showed up in a game-changing effort against Princeton. He looks like a fit for teams that want an energetic, high-motor linebacker who creates momentum swings.[12][11][5]
