Nebraska’s tackling machine with NFL-sized toughness
In the 2016 season, Josh Banderas was Nebraska’s tone-setting middle linebacker, leading the Huskers with 93 tackles and adding 8 tackles for loss, a clear sign of his downhill impact and range. He finished his Nebraska career with 232 tackles, ranking 19th in school history, and his game was built on physicality, instinct, and relentless effort rather than flash. A leg injury slowed his pre-draft workout process, but he still drew interest for his leadership and consistency. If you want a rugged, reliable linebacker who brings old-school edge, Banderas is your guy.
