Marshall's Tackling Machine Turned NFL Ram
Elias Neal, a standout Marshall LB, dominated college with 375 career tackles, peaking at 98 in 2022 (All-Sun Belt Honorable Mention) and 93 in 2023, showcasing elite run-stopping (32.5 TFLs, 12 sacks) and ball skills (5 INTs, 14 PBU). His relentless intensity shone in double-digit tackle games, like 14 vs. Coastal Carolina, marking him as a sideline-to-sideline predator. Now a 24-year-old Ram with 2 NFL years, Neal's proven college production and athleticism (6-0, 227 lbs) make him a high-upside depth piece—perfect for teams needing gritty, versatile linebacker insurance.
