FIU’s steady, tackle-first linebacker with proven production
Gerrod Bodie’s FIU profile points to a reliable, physical linebacker who built his rep on production and consistency rather than flash. In the 2004 season, he finished with 18 total tackles, including 6 solo stops, 12 assists, and 1 sack, showing a solid role as an active run-support defender[3]; a FIU statistical summary also lists him with 12 assists, 6 solo tackles, and 1 sack[1]. He’s the kind of player who fits teams that value assignment-sound, hardworking defenders with a feel for the box and special-teams mentality more than headline-grabbing athleticism[1][3].
