The Cincinnati Bearcats had a linebacker accrue 100 tackles last year and lead the American Athletic Conference in the category. Unfortunately, Jaylyin Minor won’t be able to do it again since he graduated.
That’s OK, though, because the Bearcats still have Perry Young. During his sophomore season, Young really burst onto the scene, racking up 101 tackles, which ranked seventh in the AAC. With Young and Minor at the height of their powers, UC was one of two teams in the conference to have two players with at least 100 tackles. The other was Tulsa, which got 113 stops from McKinley Whitfield and 106 from Cooper Edmiston.
