JMU’s tackling machine and two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year
Stephon Robertson is a high-floor, tone-setting linebacker whose calling card was relentless production and impact plays: he finished with 445 career tackles, plus sacks, interceptions, and forced fumbles, and earned CAA Defensive Player of the Year honors twice. His best fit is a defense that values instinct, consistency, and physicality, because he showed he can be the engine of a unit rather than just a stat compiler. The extra edge: he also built a reputation as one of JMU’s all-time greats, making him a proven leader with championship-caliber credibility.
