Special-Teams Spark Plug for Richmond’s Defense
In his 2018 season at Richmond, Josh Hurlburt appeared in eight games and made eight tackles, splitting them evenly between solo and assisted stops—an efficient, role-player profile that fits a depth-and-effort linebacker. The big takeaway: he was used primarily on special teams, which usually points to trust, physicality, and a willingness to do the dirty work rather than chase headline stats. If you want a high-motor linebacker who can contribute in coverage units and bring reliability, Hurlburt’s game is built around toughness and assignment discipline.
