Christian Sweeney is Colgate’s tone-setting linebacker with proven big-play chops
In the 2024 season, Christian Sweeney emerged as a defensive centerpiece for Colgate, finishing with 78 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and a pass breakup while earning preseason All-Patriot League recognition and captain-level respect. His calling card is disruption: he showed in 2023 that he can flip games with 3.0 TFLs, 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble, and a recovery against Lafayette, and Colgate’s own coverage highlights his knack for momentum-swinging stops. He looks like a high-intensity, experienced fit for a defense that values leadership, physicality, and production at linebacker.
