Samford’s Cody Jantzen brings proven linebacker production and veteran stability
Cody Jantzen profiles as a dependable, high-floor linebacker for Samford: in the 2022 season, he started all 13 games and led the Bulldogs defense with 92 tackles, including 53 solo stops and 7.5 tackles for loss. That production suggests a physical, assignment-sound defender who can finish plays and hold up over a full season. He also brings transfer experience from Sioux Falls, which adds maturity and game awareness. If a team wants an active, experienced LB who can be trusted in the middle, he looks like a strong fit.
