Dakota Cox’s calling card: high-volume, hard-hitting linebacker production
Dakota Cox built his reputation at New Mexico as a relentless inside linebacker with elite production, including a 116-tackle sophomore season and 374 career tackles that ranked him among the program’s and Mountain West’s top tacklers. He stood out for his instincts, motor, and reliability in the middle of the defense, making him the kind of tone-setter coaches value in a run-first, physical scheme. Beyond the box score, his appeal was consistency and intensity; the main fit question for any team would be whether it needs an undersized-but-productive, high-IQ linebacker to anchor the defense.
