Get to Know Your Orange Man: #24, LB Anwar Sparrow

Position: Linebacker

Year: Freshman

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 204 lbs

Hometown: Virginia Beach, Va.

High School: Salem

2019 stats: Earned Virginia Beach District Defensive Player of the Year and Virginia High School League All-State second team honors during senior season. He recorded 103 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, four sacks, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

2020 projections: Sparrow perhaps doesn’t have the height Babers is looking for in his new defensive philosophies. We’re looking at a very high probability of a redshirt year, barring any special teams appearances or snaps on defense while the coaching staff figures out who fits the best in the new 3-3-5 defensive scheme.
