veteran Nicholls linebacker with a local-football edge
Jarrod Fanguy emerged as a starter for Nicholls after working up the depth chart, and local coverage in 2007–2009 described him as a steady middle-linebacker presence who won a bigger role through competition and experience[2][6][10]. In the 2009 season, he produced a career-high 12 tackles, plus two forced fumbles and an interception in one game, a strong snapshot of his playmaking upside[3]. The big selling point: he brings toughness, familiarity with the program, and the kind of inside-linebacker grit that coaches love when they want a dependable communicator and tone-setter[2][10].
