Greg Otten is a steady, developmental linebacker with special-teams upside for USF
In the 2024 season, Greg Otten saw action in four games for South Florida, and in 2025 he appeared in one game, which points to a rotational role rather than a headline-grabbing stat line[3]. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound redshirt junior brings a classic linebacker frame, veteran experience, and a low-drama, high-discipline profile that coaches usually love because he’s been around the program and knows the system[1][3][15]. His value is less about splashy numbers and more about reliability, depth, and the kind of physical, assignment-sound play that can help on special teams and in matchup-driven packages[3][11].
