Whit Blackburn brings a high-motor, turnover-making linebacker profile to Wofford
Whit Blackburn looks like a classic linebacker fit for a physical, assignment-sound defense: at Marist High School, he led his team with 101 tackles as a senior and added three sacks, two forced fumbles, and three interceptions, including a pick-six, while earning first-team All-Region and All-Metro honors and honorable mention All-State recognition[1]. Wofford lists him at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds as a sophomore linebacker, but his real differentiator is playmaking production plus range and instincts, which suggest he can help both against the run and in coverage if that disrupt-or-react style translates to the college level[1].
