Alfred Chea brings proven tackling production and veteran versatility to Ball State’s defense
Chea looks like a reliable, physical linebacker fit for a defense that wants steadiness more than flash: in the 2025 season, he posted 35 solo tackles with 1 forced fumble and no sacks or interceptions, and Ball State described him as a 13-game contributor with one season of eligibility left. He also brings rare positional flexibility after playing in the secondary at UConn and handling linebacker duties, which can help a coaching staff deploy him in multiple roles. If you want an experienced, assignment-sound defender who can be trusted to finish plays, he’s worth your attention.
