Joplo Bartu was a disruptive, high-volume linebacker for Texas State
In the 2012 season, Joplo Bartu led Texas State with 95 tackles, including 61 solo stops, 12.0 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks, which points to a downhill, playmaking linebacker who impacted both run defense and the pass rush. He was a 6-foot-2, 251-pound linebacker with NFL-level size and enough production to earn a pro look after college, including time with the Falcons and Cardinals. For a team needing a physical, aggressive tackler who can make plays behind the line, Bartu’s profile says “plug-and-punch.” [2][6][1]
