Mike Niam brings starting-caliber production and disruptive playmaking to Wofford’s linebacker corps
In the 2024 season, Mike Niam started 11 games at inside linebacker and finished second on the team with 83 tackles, while also adding 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble, showing he can do more than clean up plays—he can disrupt them.[2] That profile makes him valuable for teams that want a physical, assignment-sound linebacker with proven production, edge, and flash plays in the backfield. The main appeal is his blend of volume tackling and impact-driven defense, which signals a player who can anchor the middle and elevate a unit’s intensity.[2]
