former FSU linebacker with proven downhill pop and NFL-level pedigree
Ro'Derrick Hoskins was a physical, assignment-sound Florida State linebacker who brought real production in the 2017 season, finishing with 53 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks while starting every game at middle linebacker[1]. He was also a highly regarded recruit out of Orlando, earning ESPN four-star status and a spot in the ESPN300, which helps explain the blend of athleticism and instincts that made him more than just a stat sheet player[1][11]. The fit? If you want a defense-first LB who can trigger fast, tackle cleanly, and add some backfield disruption, Hoskins checked a lot of boxes.
