reliable depth at linebacker with proven special-teams value
Alec Solano looks like a **role-player who earns trust**: at Old Dominion in 2022, he played in all 12 games, contributed on defense and special teams, and finished with six tackles, which suggests dependable depth more than splashy production.[2] The key fit signal is his versatility and willingness to do the unglamorous work—he’s the kind of linebacker who can help stabilize a roster, especially if a team wants toughness, assignment reliability, and special-teams competence rather than a headline-grabbing stat profile.[2]
