Eric Higgins is a Bucknell linebacker with old-school toughness and academic grit
Eric Higgins built his Bucknell profile the hard way: as a starter at outside linebacker, he returned from a missed sophomore season caused by head injuries and still produced 31 tackles with 5 tackles for loss in the 2000 season. That combination of toughness, reliability, and playmaking behind the line is exactly why coaches love him. He also brought high-end discipline off the field, earning Academic All-District recognition and finishing with a 3.66 GPA as a biochemistry/pre-med major. In short: durable when healthy, instinctive in space, and the kind of smart, competitive linebacker teams trust.
