Sherrod Ruff brings veteran pass-rush juice off the edge for Southern Miss
Sherrod Ruff is a compact, experienced Southern Miss linebacker who has consistently flashed disruptive playmaking ability, including a career total of 9.5 sacks and 52 solo tackles across four seasons with the Golden Eagles. He stands out less as a pure volume tackler and more as a backfield hunter: in 2018, he led Southern Miss with 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks, showing real burst, leverage, and finishing instincts. The fit is obvious for teams wanting a tough, instinctive pressure linebacker who can stress quarterbacks and create negative plays.
