Cornell’s steady, hard-hitting linebacker who led by example
In the 2021 season, Lance Blass was a dependable, all-around linebacker for Cornell, finishing with 55 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, a half-sack, an interception, and three quarterback hurries while earning second-team All-Ivy honors. He was also elected the Big Red’s solo captain, a strong signal of trust in his leadership, toughness, and locker-room presence. The best fit for a team looking for a veteran tone-setter: physical, experienced, and consistently around the ball rather than flashy.
