Production-heavy Houston linebacker who piles up tackles and creates turnovers
C.J. Cavness built his value at Houston on pure volume and reliability, finishing his career with 247 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles while ranking 15th nationally at 10.2 tackles per game in his standout season. He also showed real playmaking juice with four fumble recoveries and one game with 18 tackles, signaling a linebacker who plays fast, finishes plays, and can handle a heavy workload. For a team, that profile fits a high-motor, instinctive tackler who brings stability and physicality rather than splashy pass-rush numbers.
