Shug Bentley has become Stetson’s do-it-all linebacker anchor
Bentley is a sturdy, production-backed LB who has grown into a true centerpiece for Stetson, leading the team with 75 tackles in 2025 after a solid 2024 season (34 solo tackles, 31 assisted) and adding impact plays with sacks, a first career interception, and four pass breakups. His value goes beyond box scores: he was an all-time tackling leader in high school, has a captain’s background, and brings the kind of reliable, high-motor presence coaches trust in the middle of a defense. He looks like a fit for teams needing a dependable, physical, assignment-sound linebacker who can both tackle and make timely plays in coverage.[1][6]
