Terry Straughter brings old-school linebacker toughness to Tennessee State
Terry Straughter is a seasoned Tennessee State linebacker with proven production and a physical, downhill style that pops on film. In the 2020 season, he was coming off 67 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 45 solo stops, and two pass breakups, and earlier in his career he flashed playmaking with an interception and multiple disruptive games. He profiles as a reliable, instinctive defender who can finish plays, fit the run, and steady a defense with veteran savvy — a strong fit if your team wants a tough, experienced tone-setter in the middle.
