Jeremy Balina was a tackling machine for Wagner
In the 2002 season, Wagner linebacker Jeremy Balina was a defensive tone-setter: he finished with 116 tackles, ranked third in the NEC, added 50 solo stops, and helped drive a unit he captained while piling up a career line of 351 tackles, 15 sacks, and 8 interceptions. He was a two-time Don Hansen’s All-American and a two-time All-NEC second-team pick, which says plenty about his range, production, and consistency. If your team wants a hard-hitting, high-volume linebacker with proven playmaking juice, Balina fits the bill.
