veteran Catamount LB with special-teams grit
Damian Whitaker is a former Western Carolina linebacker whose profile is built on versatility and toughness: in the 2015 season, he played in seven games and recorded seven tackles, including four solo stops, with a season-best three tackles in the opener against Mars Hill. He was also a defensive reserve and special-teams contributor earlier in his Catamount career, which is the kind of glue-guy value coaches love. If you want a player who brings experience, effort, and dependable assignment football, Whitaker fits the “steady, physical, and team-first” mold.
