Austin Copeland brings proven linebacker production and backfield disruption
Austin Copeland has shown himself to be a dependable, physical linebacker with a track record of making plays in the box: ESPN lists 43 solo tackles and 3 sacks for his Arkansas State career, while Arkansas State’s roster history shows he also posted 24 tackles and 2 tackles for loss in a 12-game season. That profile suggests a defender who can handle assignment football, finish tackles, and add some pressure as a second-level disruptor. For a team, he looks like a tough, depth-friendly fit with experience and steady production rather than a pure splash-play specialist.
