Physical 6-3, 222-LB LB with Solid 2025 Tackling and QB Hurry Potential
Landon Danley, a 6-3, 222-pound junior linebacker for the Virginia Cavaliers, posted 18 total tackles (6.0 per game) and 1.0 TFL in 3 games through mid-September 2025, while adding 1 QB hurry to show pass-pressure instincts [1]. His size and tackling volume make him a reliable box defender, though limited sample size (3 games) and zero forced fumbles or passes broken up suggest he’s still refining coverage and playmaking [1]. EA Sports rates him 72 overall (noted as Strong Safety in-game, likely reflecting versatility) [2]. Danley brings high-intensity, physical presence and steady fundamentals—ideal for teams needing a sure-tackling, size-first LB who can grow into coverage. No reported injuries; his differentiator is consistent contact and QB disruption potential despite modest stats.
