Stampede Blue
With new Defensive Coordinator Lou Anarumo in town and WILL LB EJ Speed a Free Agent, the Colts could address Linebacker in the 2025 Draft relatively.
Campbell enjoyed a huge breakout season in 2024 for the Roll Tide. With 116 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles, and 1 INT, Campbell set easy career highs. He excelled as a blitzer, but also led all of college football in coverage stops and had an 80.1 coverage grade. Campbell was also a highly reliable tackler at 5.9%.
A well rounded prospect, a dominant Combine could shoot Campbell into top half of the Round 1 conversation.
The former Bruin only had 101 snaps heading into 2024, but he made the most of his full time starting opportunity. He had 133 tackles, 2 INTs, 50 run stops, 4 sacks, 1 Forced Fumbles, and 7.6% Miss Tackle rate.
Schwesinger was a very fluid and explosive playmaker with a lot of fun coverage reps on tape. He needs a strong Combine to pair with his small sample size to help maintain his Top-50 Draft billing, and perhaps enter the Round 1 Conversation.
Smael (pronounced Smile) Mondon Jr. flew around the field for the Georgia Bulldogs in 2024. Mondon displayed a lot of range and energy for the Bulldogs, but only had a part time role in the loaded Georgia Defense, thus he will to to reinforce his athleticism to help boost his stock.
A former Safety turned LB, Bassa brings a ton of coverage ability in the mid-zones and in man coverage.
His weigh ins will be especially key for his positional switch, but as an undersized LB pushing 230 lbs, Bassa needs to test very well to emphasize his range and fluidity over potential size concerns against blockers.
Knight is on the opposite size of the spectrum of Bassa, as a huge 6’1 246lb. Linebacker with 33.25” arms. He was a starter at Charlotte in 2023 before transferring to South Carolina to start for the Gamecocks.
Knight despite his size showed a lot of speed and coverage ability on tape, and if he proves it in timed drills he could cement a strong claim for Day 1-2 stock rise.
