battle-tested Aggie linebacker with a knack for piling up tackles
Chase Christiansen is a physical, old-school Utah State linebacker whose calling card has been toughness and tackle production; in 2018, he ranked second on the team with 34 tackles through five games and later posted a career-high 15 tackles in a game, despite battling injuries throughout his Aggie career[3][6]. The biggest differentiator is his resilience: Utah State described him as seeking an injury-free season after multiple setbacks, which hints at a player who brings intensity, experience, and grit rather than flash[3]. If your team wants a dependable, downhill defender who shows up against the run, he fits the mold; if you want a rangy, stat-sheet-stuffing playmaker with recent elite production, the available public info doesn’t show that profile[3][6].
