Robert Heyward gives Towson a proven tackling presence at linebacker
Heyward’s best-known snapshot is his 2019 season, when he started all 12 games for Towson and led the Tigers with 87 tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss, plus two sacks and two interceptions.[3] That profile points to a linebacker who can diagnose quickly, play with impact in the backfield, and stay on the field as a full-time starter.[3] The main reason to care: he has already shown playmaking range and production, which makes him a fit for teams wanting an aggressive, disruptive defender rather than just a volume tackler.[3][1]
