veteran Redhawk linebacker with proven production and transfer upside
Brad Ivey’s best verified college-football snapshot is at Southeast Missouri State, where he played in 17 games with 3 starts and posted 46 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 1 sack in his first two seasons before transferring in 2016. The appeal is clear: he’s a physical inside linebacker with real game experience, a knack for getting downhill, and enough backfield disruption to matter beyond just cleanup tackles. For a defense wanting toughness and short-yardage edge, he looks like the kind of hard-nosed, reliable piece coaches usually love.
