Veteran Samford linebacker Bryce Graves brings old-school tackling and steady production
Bryce Graves, a graduate-student linebacker at Samford, is a compact, physical presence at 5-11 and 227 pounds who came to the Bulldogs after three seasons at Elon, where he logged 72 tackles in 27 games (including 34 as a freshman in the Spring 2021 season and 30 in 2022). His fit is built on experience, reliability, and downhill range rather than flash; that kind of seasoned, high-effort linebacker can stabilize a defense, especially for teams that value toughness, consistency, and a player who knows how to find the ball.
