Physical, disruptive Syracuse linebacker with proven splash-play upside
Rich Scanlon was a Syracuse linebacker who earned Second-team All-Big East honors in 2003 and showed high-impact production with a 20-tackle game, 3 sacks vs. Rutgers, and strong tackling versatility. His profile suggests a physical, assignment-stable defender who could handle run support and create negative plays when asked to attack downhill. The main appeal is his proven productivity and competitiveness in big moments; the main question for any team fit is whether they need a reliable, hard-nosed linebacker with game-changing bursts rather than a pure sideline-to-sideline speed specialist.
