Brian Hulea brings Villanova a classic hard-nosed linebacker profile
Brian Hulea has been a proven Villanova defensive tone-setter, capped by a First Team All-America season in 2005 and a career total of 431 tackles, which ranks third in school history. His calling card is relentless production from the linebacker spot—he also logged 32.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks in his Villanova career—plus a reputation as a hard hitter who plays with great intensity. If you want a physical, high-motor defender who can diagnose, tackle, and raise the standard of the room, Hulea absolutely fits the bill.
