Eric Ryan’s Harvard tape screams instincts, toughness, and takeaway production
Eric Ryan built his Harvard profile as a rugged, high-motor linebacker who made plays in space and around the football; in the 2016 season, he posted 19 tackles and 1.0 sack, and earlier he showed ball skills with an interception return and multiple fumble recoveries in 2014-15. Harvard also highlighted him as a leadership-by-example player with strong work ethic and resiliency, which matters for teams looking for a cerebral, dependable defender who sets the tone.
