RJ Potts brings veteran toughness and a linebacker’s edge to Northern Colorado
RJ Potts has been a steady, physical presence for Northern Colorado, with the Bears noting in 2020 that he was expected to make an instant impact after transferring from Cincinnati, where he had already shown academic discipline and earned a reputation as a position switcher from safety to linebacker[8]. In 2021, he logged 38 total tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, and 1.0 sack in UNCO’s cumulative stats, underscoring a compact, disruptive style that fits an aggressive defense[9]. He looks like a good fit for a team that values experience, versatility, and a tone-setting, high-motor defender[2][12].
