Colby Archie brings juice off the edge for UAB
Colby Archie is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior linebacker/edge rusher whose best calling card is disruptive pressure: in the 2024 season at Dodge City CC, he posted 21 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks, then followed in the 2025 season with 21 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, and 2.5 sacks. He arrives at UAB with a proven knack for getting into the backfield and enough production to suggest he can be a useful fit in a defense that wants energy, pursuit, and pass-rush juice. The main question is whether his production can scale against stronger FBS competition.
