Converted QB-turned-tackling machine for Maryland
In the 2016 season, Shane Cockerille was a high-motor, instinctive linebacker for Maryland after switching from quarterback, finishing second on the team with 108 tackles, adding 8 tackles for loss and 3 sacks. He stood out for his nose for the football, toughness, and rapid position change—traits that made him more than a stat line and a valuable culture piece. If you want a physical, assignment-sound linebacker with proven production and football IQ, he’s the kind of player who fits a defense that rewards effort and versatility.
