veteran Vanderbilt linebacker with proven athletic pop
Darreon Herring brings veteran linebacker size at 6'2", 230 pounds and showed off notable athletic testing—especially a strong vertical and broad jump—in Vanderbilt’s pro-day work, signaling good burst and explosion for a second-level defender. In the 2015 season, he started all 12 games and finished second on the team with 64 total tackles, which points to steady production and durability. The fit is appealing if a team wants a downhill, physically mature linebacker who can move well and plays with enough athletic juice to handle multiple responsibilities.
