Cecil Cherry brings proven downhill production and FCS-level playmaking to UT Martin’s linebacker room
Cherry profiles as a physical, instinctive linebacker who has already shown he can produce impact plays, highlighted by a 2019 season with 55 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, and 4.0 sacks, plus 83 total tackles in 2019 with UT Martin. He also earned STATS FCS National Defensive Player of the Week recognition, which supports his reputation as a disruptive, high-motor defender rather than just a volume tackler. The fit question is simple: if your team wants toughness, backfield disruption, and a player who has already flashed game-changing upside, Cherry is worth a serious look.[2][9][3]
