Earl Patin brings disruptive linebacker production and steady field-flipping impact for Baylor
Patin has shown he can be a high-motor, assignment-sound linebacker who creates pressure, not just tackles: Baylor notes a career-high three quarterback hurries against Northwestern State and a six-tackle outing with an assisted tackle for loss in another game, while ESPN lists his Baylor career production at 91 solo tackles, 4 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. That profile makes him valuable for a defense that wants urgency, run support, and occasional backfield disruption without sacrificing reliability.
