Tyson Patrick brings veteran linebacker instincts and splash-play upside to EKU
In the 2010 season, Tyson Patrick emerged as a disruptive Eastern Kentucky linebacker, starting 10 of 11 games, ranking second on the team with 9.5 tackles for loss, and adding 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pick-six that earned OVC Defensive Player of the Week honors[2]. His differentiators are production with teeth and playmaking juice: he wasn’t just making tackles, he was flipping momentum. That kind of aggressive, high-motor, impact defender is a fit for a defense that wants a linebacker who hunts plays rather than waits for them[2][13].
