Tackling Machine and Veteran Tone-Setter for HCU
In the 2017 season, Cody Moncure emerged as a high-volume, every-down linebacker for Houston Baptist, starting all 11 games, finishing second on the team with 85 tackles, and adding 2.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries, and two pass breakups[5]. He also showed game-changing production in key spots, including a 12-tackle, one-sack outing against Stephen F. Austin[8]. Moncure’s value goes beyond the box score: he was one of the original players in the program, which suggests a strong buy-in, leadership, and toughness that coaches usually love in the middle of a defense[7].
