VMI’s Henry Berling is a rising, physical linebacker with special-teams utility
Berling entered the 2026 season as a **redshirt junior** at VMI after logging **19 tackles in 12 games in 2024**, including a season-high **4.0 tackles** against Bucknell and Mercer, plus a tackle for loss and a QB hurry.[1] At **6-foot-3, 235 pounds**, he has the frame to play downhill and the background of a proven high-school winner and captain, which points to toughness, discipline, and steady development rather than flash.[1] He looks like a fit for teams that want a **reliable, physical LB** who can grow into a larger role and contribute on multiple downs.[1][3]
