Physical, position-flexible LB with a safety’s instincts
Sturtz’s calling card is versatility—he grew into a linebacker after starting as a safety, and that background gives him a cleaner read-and-react style than many true box LBs. At 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, he has a workable frame for coverage responsibility and pursuit, and the key differentiator is his experience making a major position transition, which usually signals football IQ and coachability. The main question for a team is ceiling versus top-end explosiveness, but he looks like a disciplined, adaptable fit for systems that value range and reliability.
