Portland State's 2012 CFPA Linebacker Award Winner & Turnover Machine
Ian Sluss exploded in the 2012 season for Portland State, earning the CFPA Linebacker Award with 55 tackles (3rd on team), a Viking-high 13.5 TFLs, and a historic 4-turnover game vs UC Davis (2 INTs including TD, 2 fumbles, 6 tackles, 2 PBUs) in a 49-21 rout—showcasing elite instincts, relentless intensity, and game-changing playmaking from the 5-11, 233 lb senior. Overcame early injury to dominate; briefly signed by Patriots post-draft but released. His football IQ and special teams versatility make him a high-motor fit for teams needing sideline-to-sideline LBs.
