Tyler Vance brings under-the-radar linebacker production and old-school tackling juice to Glenville State
In the 2026 season, Tyler Vance enters Glenville State as a freshman linebacker from Philippi, W.Va., listed at 5-foot-10, 173 pounds[1][13]. His high-school production pops: 156 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and two interceptions as a senior, plus 154 tackles and 21 TFL as a junior[1]. That kind of back-to-back disruption suggests a fast, instinctive defender who finds the ball often and plays with real urgency. If a roster wants a lightweight linebacker who can diagnose quickly and bring energy, Vance is worth a look[1][13].
