Georgetown’s all-time tackling machine and instinctive linebacker
In his Georgetown career, Rob McCabe stood out as a rangy, high-IQ linebacker who consistently found the ball, capped by a 2011 season with 134 tackles and a Patriot League-leading 12.2 tackles per game, plus four interceptions and First Team All-Patriot League honors. Georgetown described him as a very intelligent football player with a feel for the game that made things slow down for him, and that’s the real separator: awareness, play recognition, and production. If you want a defense-first linebacker who diagnoses fast and brings a steady, disruptive presence, McCabe was absolutely the fit.
