Colorado State LB Michael Kawulok: veteran presence, linebacker coach in pads
Michael Kawulok brings rare size, experience, and leadership to Colorado State’s linebacker room, having been described by the Rams as “essentially another assistant coach” while helping younger linebackers get up to speed. In the 2010 season, he played all 12 games, made 44 tackles, and added a pass breakup and forced fumble despite starting only two games, which hints at a high-football-IQ, high-effort defender who stays involved. His biggest differentiator is his toughness and command of the defense, though his knee history is a real durability flag. Good fit if you want a steady, vocal, team-first LB who elevates the room.
