Duston Forston brings old-school edge to FAU’s linebacker room
Duston Forston’s profile at Florida Atlantic points to a physical, high-motor linebacker with legit pass-rush production from his high school days—at Miami Northwestern, he was credited with 87 tackles and 14 sacks as a senior, plus 56 tackles and 21 sacks as a junior[1]. He arrived as a redshirt freshman at 6-foot and 228 pounds, and the differentiator here is clear: disruptive pressure, toughness, and a defensive-mvp type of mentality, not just empty tackle volume[1]. If your team wants a tone-setter who can win with burst and violence at the point of attack, he’s the kind of piece worth caring about[1].
