Tristan Exline brings transfer-ready production and playmaking to linebacker
Exline is a high-volume, disruptive linebacker who just posted a monster 2025 at UT Permian Basin with 143 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, while also showing takeaway ability with interceptions and forced fumbles. Across his UTPB career, he finished with 272 tackles, 39 tackles for loss, 12 sacks and 4 forced fumbles, which points to a defender who consistently shows up near the ball and creates negative plays. He looks like a good fit for a team needing an intensity-driven, downhill LB with proven production and one year of eligibility left.
