Rett Russell brings proven tackling production and steady linebacker reliability for The Citadel
Rett Russell profiles as a dependable, physical linebacker with a strong recent résumé: in the 2023 season, he played in all 11 games for The Citadel and produced 27 tackles, 21 of them solo, while also defending two passes[2]. He also showed earlier disruptive upside at Wofford, including 63 total tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss in one season, suggesting he can play downhill and make stops behind the line[3]. For a team needing an active, assignment-sound defender rather than a flashy stat collector, Russell looks like a solid fit.
