Instinctive Michigan LB with Elite Forced Fumble Legacy
Jake Ryan is a 6-2, 240-pound linebacker whose defining differentiator is his elite instinct and fearlessness in opposing backfields, evidenced by his career-high seven forced fumbles that tied for second on Michigan’s all-time list. Beyond stats, his intensity level is unmatched; he played with a rollercoaster-level passion that made him a familiar sight in critical moments, such as leading the Wolverines during their dominant 44-13 victory over Purdue in 2012. While he faced a non-football injury designation after signing with the Baltimore Ravens in 2020, his college pedigree as a first-team All-Big Ten honoree proves he is a high-fit, battle-tested leader for any team seeking a linebacker who combines physicality with rare, game-changing intangibles.
