a proven playmaking linebacker with ballhawk instincts
Dirk Kool’s best-known college profile is as an aggressive, playmaking linebacker for South Dakota State, where in the 2010 season he logged 70 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and an interception, then followed with a team-high 10 tackles and a pass breakup in SDSU’s 2011 opener. He stands out for instinctive downhill range, timely disruption, and a knack for showing up in winning moments; that’s the kind of defender coaches trust in tight games. The main caveat is that the available public data is from an older SDSU era, so his current status can’t be verified from accessible recent sources.
