Borner brings thump, résumé, and upside to Lamar’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Nehemiah Borner appeared sparingly for Lamar, so the eye-catching value is his long-term upside rather than a loaded stat sheet. He arrived after a Duncanville career built on production and violence: 115 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks, 14 quarterback hurries, and two fumble recoveries in his senior season. Lamar also plugged him into a linebacker group that needed fresh legs, and his compact 5-foot-9, 217-pound build suggests a low-center-of-gravity thumper who can play with leverage, urgency, and special-teams juice.
