Terrell Manning brings a hard-hitting, playmaking linebacker profile for NC State
Terrell Manning’s NC State résumé is built on impact: in the 2011 season, he finished with 76 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries, showing the kind of downhill, disruptive linebacker traits coaches value.[3] ESPN also lists him with 62 solo tackles, 4.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions across his college production, reinforcing that he can affect the game in multiple ways, not just stop the run.[2] The big differentiator is his physical, hard-hitting style and turnover-creating instincts, though his value depends on whether a team wants an aggressive edge defender rather than a finesse linebacker.[3][1]
