steady, productive MAC linebacker who brings tackle pop and ball production
In the 2018 season, Alex Briones was a proven Central Michigan linebacker who finished with 83 tackles, including 55 solo stops, plus 3.0 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 1 interception, and 3 fumble recoveries—an unusually complete stat line for a linebacker.[12] He also ranked third on the team in tackles and led the Chippewas in fumble recoveries, which fits the profile of a rugged, high-motor defender who shows up around the ball and creates extra possessions.[11][12] If you want an active, physical inside presence with a nose for turnovers, Briones is the kind of fit coaches usually love.
