Albany’s chaos-creating linebacker with NFL-caliber playmaking
In the 2019 season, Eli Mencer was a one-man disruption machine for Albany, posting 114 tackles, a program-record 14.5 sacks, and five forced fumbles while earning All-America recognition. His calling card was relentless motor and ball-stripping instincts, the kind of edge that makes coordinators sleep poorly. At 6-foot-1 and about 229 pounds, he played bigger than his frame and thrived as a versatile LB/DE hybrid. The fit question is simple: if your team wants a high-intensity, attack-first defender who hunts the football, Mencer checks a lot of boxes.
