Physical, downhill linebacker with proven splash-play pedigree
Roderic Blunt stood out at Middle Tennessee as a stout 6-foot, 226-pound linebacker with verified speed, a physical edge, and a history of impact production — he was credited with 54 tackles in 2012 and 12 tackles in a game that season, showing he can be disruptive when lined up downhill. His recruiting profile also noted a three-star pedigree and top-100 linebacker recognition, which fits the eye test: urgent, aggressive, and built to attack. The caution flag is discipline — he was ejected in a bowl game for unsportsmanlike conduct — so he’s best for a team that values intensity but can keep the heat under control.
