Redshirt Senior LB with 100+ Tackles, 2nd Conference Team Honors, and Elite Intensity
Anthony Shockey, a 6'1", 230-lb redshirt senior linebacker for the Eastern Illinois Panthers, delivered a standout 2024 season by recording over 100 tackles—the 40th player in program history to reach this milestone—and earning 2nd Conference Team honors. His differentiators include relentless intensity, a career-high 12 tackles in a single game (2024), and the ability to start all 11 games in 2023 while ranking third on the team with 56 tackles. Despite the Panthers’ 3-9 season marred by injuries, Shockey remained a defensive anchor, showcasing elite tackling consistency and leadership. He’s a high-fit prospect for teams needing a durable, battle-tested LB with proven intensity and a track record of outperforming expectations under pressure.
