Former wideout turned tackling machine for Kentucky
In the 2015 season, Josh Forrest was a disruptive, high-motor linebacker who led Kentucky with 93 tackles and added 6 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 5 pass breakups. His biggest differentiator was range: he started as a wide receiver, gave Kentucky a linebacker who could run and match routes, and built a reputation for production in space rather than just piling up stops. He also showed playmaking instincts, including a pick-six in 2014. If you want a linebacker with speed, versatility, and ball skills, Forrest is a fit.
