Bryan Bonilla brings veteran linebacker toughness to New Mexico State
Bonilla is a proven, high-volume linebacker with a history of production at New Mexico State, including a 2012 season with 78 tackles, 1 sack, and 4.5 tackles for loss, and he has shown the kind of nose-for-the-ball consistency coaches value in the middle of a defense.[3] His differentiators are effort, reliability, and run-stopping activity rather than flash: he repeatedly piled up tackles, handled a full-game workload, and flashed enough playmaking to disrupt behind the line. If you want a tough, assignment-sound LB who can anchor against the run, he fits; if you need a rangy coverage specialist, that is not his calling card.[3][2]
