Arizona’s High-Motor, High-Volume Tackling Linebacker
Gotcher arrives at Arizona as a proven difference-maker after a breakout 2024 at Northwestern State, where he piled up 162 tackles, added 10 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and earned AP All-American recognition. His calling card is relentless run-to-ball production, backed by strong instincts, pursuit speed, and a nose for impact plays, including forced fumbles and an interception. He’s the kind of linebacker a defense can trust to set the tone, especially against the run, and his intensity and production suggest he can fit as an immediate-impact fit if Arizona wants a physical, playmaking front-seven presence.
