Bayo Aregbe brings old-school downhill linebacker energy to Columbia
Bayo Aregbe is a physical, aggressive linebacker whose best trait is straightforward: he plays with force and was described by Columbia as a strong, aggressive defender with starting upside when healthy. In his 2007 season, he finished with 40 total tackles and was praised for senior leadership on a very young team, which tells you he was more than just a hitter — he was a stabilizer. The knock is durability, since injuries limited him at times, but if a team wants a tone-setter who brings intensity and backfield disruption, he’s the kind of linebacker coaches notice fast.
