Alex Arain brings versatility and steady run support to Old Dominion's front seven
Alex Arain is best known for his defensive versatility and tackling production at Old Dominion: after beginning as a safety, he switched to linebacker in 2011 and finished that season with 46 tackles, including a career-high 12 stops against No. 20 UMass. He also appears in Old Dominion roster records as a defensive player, with later listings identifying him as a defensive lineman, which suggests a utility profile that can help a coaching staff in multiple alignments. For a team, that kind of adaptable, physical defender is valuable if you want reliable run support and a player who can absorb scheme changes without losing productivity.[2][3][6]
