Elijah Herring gives Florida State a productive, disruptive linebacker with playmaking juice
Herring looks like a high-impact LB fit because he already brings proven production and splash-play ability: in 2024 at Tennessee, he posted 60 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in 11 games, while EA’s College Football 26 rates him an 82 overall with strong acceleration and awareness. He stands out for his blend of urgency, instincts, and versatility against both the run and pass, which makes him more than just a stat sheet tackler. If you want a physical, instinctive defender who can create turnovers, he’s a strong fit.
