Austin Paulhus was an anonymous man in his first two seasons at Nevada, his impact relatively muted, but he’s having a standout senior season and has been one of the nation’s most productive linebackers.
After a two-year stint in junior college, Paulhus redshirted in 2015, his first year at Nevada, and was a reserve in 2016. This season, he earned a starting job and leads the Wolf Pack with 51 tackles, which ranks 29th in the nation, while posting 10 tackles for loss, the eighth most in the nation.
