Mike Follett brings size and pass-rush upside to Iowa’s linebacker room
Mike Follett is a big-bodied Iowa linebacker/edge type with clear pass-rush value: in the available stat lines, he has 2.0 sacks and 16 sack yards, which suggests disruptive downhill ability rather than just pile-up tackling. Earlier recruiting profiles list him at 6-4, 205 pounds from Dowling Catholic, highlighting the length and athletic frame Iowa often likes to mold. The main question is whether that athletic ceiling translates into more consistent all-around production, but his size, versatility, and pressure upside make him an interesting fit for a defense that prizes toughness and development.
