Penn’s tackling-heavy, field-stretching linebacker presence
Lhotak stood out as a high-volume, high-impact linebacker for Penn, with a documented 2003 game in which he posted a career- and game-high 16 tackles, including nine solo stops, and earlier seasons that helped power Penn’s dominant defenses. His calling card is production in big moments and a reputation for being around the ball, which makes him attractive for teams valuing instinct, toughness, and reliability over flash. The main question for a fit is whether you want a steady, physical run-stopper who can anchor a defense and set the tone.
