downhill, physical Rutgers linebacker with proven production and edge
Quentin Gause entered Rutgers as a 3-star linebacker prospect and built a reputation as a physical, high-motor defender who finished his senior year of high school with 124 tackles, 4 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions, while also contributing 1,611 rushing yards on offense.[1][2] At Rutgers, he earned All-Big Ten recognition and ranked second on the team in tackles as a senior, with published testing notes showing strong athletic explosiveness in drills like the vertical, 3-cone and shuttle.[4][5] He looks like a fit for teams that want a tough, versatile linebacker who plays with intensity and special-teams value rather than pure size.[4][7]
