old-school Idaho linebacker who lived in the backfield
In the 2005 season, Cole Snyder was the heartbeat of Idaho’s defense, finishing with 136 tackles and adding an interception, a safety and a blocked-PAT return score while earning first-team all-conference recognition. He was praised as a two-year starter and top tackler whose production stood out even on a defense that gave up a lot of yards, which says something about his instincts and motor. If you value a tough, active middle linebacker who finds the ball everywhere, Snyder’s your guy.
