Tyler Houser brings high-volume, playmaking linebacker production to UNC
Houser enters North Carolina as a productive, physical linebacker with a clear track record of impact: he piled up 144 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks as a senior in 2024-25, following a junior season with 121 tackles and 22.5 TFLs. His calling cards are pursuit speed, tackling range, and backfield disruption, plus the versatility to chip in on offense in high school. Rankings suggest a solid but not elite national profile, so his fit is as a dependable, high-motor defender who can help raise the floor of a linebacker room.
