Kentrell Brothers balances "tackling machine" steadiness with play-maker instincts
Bill CarterKentrell Brothers (6'1, 235, Sr.)
2014: 92.0 tackles, 5 TFL, 1 sack, 4 PBU, 3 FF, 2 QB hurries
2013: 55.0 tackles, 6.5 TFL, 1 sack, 3 INT, 3 PBU, 2 QB hurries
2012: 10.5 tackles, 1 PBU
The Beef: Brothers has a chance to put the exclamation point on a pretty damn solid career for the Tigers if he can repeat his 2014 season as a tackling machine in the middle of the field, stretching out to the boundary. One thing I do wonder about (and this not just with Kentrell, but everyone who is not in the front four) is if Barry Odom’s style of defensive play calling will result in any additional pressure being created from the back seven.
