Senior LB/DE Anchor for San Diego Toreros with Elite Tackle Intensity
Evan Niemi, a 6'3", 240-lb senior from Rocklin, CA, delivered a high-intensity 2025 season for the San Diego Toreros, logging 18 total tackles (10 solo, 8 assists) and 2.5 tackles for loss across all 12 games [1][4]. Though listed as a Defensive End in 2025, he committed as a Linebacker in 2025, showcasing rare versatility to play both front-line roles [3]. His differentiator is relentless tackling intensity and physical maturity—he ranked 2nd on his team in total tackles (9) in the USD 42-STE 8 final [2]. With no injury history reported and a graduate student status, Niemi offers immediate, durable fit for teams needing a versatile, high-motor defender who excels in both run support and pass coverage [4]. He’s a good fit for any team seeking a senior leader with proven consistency and elite tackle volume.
