Sherman Timbs brings size, versatility and special-teams grit to Mississippi State
Sherman Timbs is a physical, high-motor linebacker who earned playing time at Mississippi State after transitioning from defensive end to SAM linebacker, which speaks to his versatility and coachability.[1][6] In the 2022 season, he appeared in 13 games with two starts and posted 16 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks, showing he can impact the game behind the line of scrimmage when given a role that suits his edge-to-linebacker skill set.[6] At 6-foot-2, 271 pounds, he offers downhill power and special-teams value more than pure coverage flash, making him a fit for teams that want toughness and scheme flexibility over highlight-reel production.[3][6]
