the downhill linebacker with NFL-tested bite
Claudin Cherelus is a physical, fast-trigger linebacker who made his name at Alcorn State by stacking up tackles and backfield disruption — in the 2022 season, he posted 73 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, and an interception for the Braves. He’s the kind of defender who shows up with energy, plays with urgency, and can chase plays sideline to sideline, which is exactly why he translated to the NFL after college. If your team wants an aggressive, run-and-hit linebacker with proven production and a toughness-first profile, he’s a strong fit.
