NCCU's Tackling Machine with Disruptive Edge
Jaki Brevard, a 6-1, 220-pound senior linebacker for North Carolina Central, exploded for 9 tackles and 3 TFLs in a key MEAC win over Norfolk State in 2024, building on his 2022 All-MEAC Second Team honors with team-high 9.5 TFLs and 3 sacks.[3][5] A Durham native with Shrine Bowl pedigree from Southern High (141 tackles, 21 TFLs, 10 sacks in 2019), he's a relentless, field-grown competitor who's played in all games without notable injury hiccups.[1][3][9] Care about him for his proven disruption and motor—perfect fit for teams needing a gritty, instinctive LB who elevates defenses.
