Craig Unger’s legacy at Morehead State: a tackling machine with brains and leadership
Craig Unger was a tone-setting linebacker for Morehead State, known as a “devastating tackler” and a two-year captain who twice led the team in tackles, including 132 stops in the 2003 season; he also added playmaking with 3 interceptions in 2003 and earned major conference and All-America recognition[1][2][8][9]. Beyond the box score, the standout here is the whole package: high football IQ, durability, leadership, and rare academic pedigree, which makes him the kind of defender coaches trust in big moments[1][2][5].
