2024 NFL Draft Prospects: Inside Linebacker

3/7/23: Gray was one of the best linebackers in college football in 2022, and he was super productive for the Tar Heels. On the year, Gray recorded 144 tackles, three forced fumbles, two interceptions, six passes broken up and one sack. In 2021, he totaled 99 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two interceptions, one forced fumble and three pass breakups.

3/7/23: Gallagher is a tough linebacker who has produced well for the Wildcats over two seasons. In 2022, he recorded 100 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one interception and one pass broken up. Gallagher totaled 90 tackles and a sack in 2021.

3/7/23: Stutsman had a good 2022 season for the Sooners, recording 124 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and five passes broken up. Stutsman is a big linebacker who displayed good instincts as a sophomore.

3/7/23: In 2022, Ford played well for the Longhorns, totaling 119 tackles, two sacks, four interceptions and two pass breakups. It was an outstanding junior year for Ford, who had recorded 53 tackles in the previous season.

3/7/23: Kiser flashed some ability as a sophomore in 2021 with 45 tackles, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and four passes broken up. Those splash plays in pass coverage are very intriguing for the passing-driven NFL. He made less of an impact in that phase in 2022. If Kiser can come back to produce well in coverage while displaying tough run defense in 2023, he could really rise for the 2024 NFL Draft.
