ACU's Tackling Machine with Elite Athletic Tools
Jakob Yandell, a 6'2", 190lb LB for Abilene Christian Wildcats, brings explosive athleticism with a 4.7 40-yard dash, 4.3 shuttle, 35" vertical, and 275lb bench—rare for his frame—translating to a high school career of 203 tackles, 25 TFLs, and 18 sacks over two starting years. His track background signals elite speed and burst, making him a sideline-to-sideline predator ideal for aggressive 3-4 defenses needing versatile, high-motor pursuit LBs who excel in coverage and blitz packages. No known injuries; pure differentiator in FCS with NFL-lite measurables.
