a throwback Oklahoma State linebacker who built his name on instincts and hustle
In the 2009 season, Patrick Lavine stood out as a veteran Oklahoma State linebacker known for smart positioning, pursuit speed, and playmaking instincts, including a career that featured 171 solo tackles, 5 sacks, 8 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble. He earned recognition as one of OSU’s all-decade defenders and was even on a Butkus Award watch list during his career, which says plenty about his reputation as a high-effort, reliable tone-setter. If you want a linebacker who reads well, tackles with purpose, and brings edge, Lavine fits the bill.
