We’re switching over to linebacker for today’s portion of the countdown by honoring a former run-on who as of the beginning of the calendar year, is now a scholarship player. With a stat line like the one Dom DeLuca put up in 2022 of 29 tackles (18 solo), two tackles for a loss, a sack, a pair of quarterback hurries, a pass breakup, and a blocked punt, it was only a matter of time before the coaching staff would begin to notice that he was a kid who was most definitely scholarship-worthy. In 2023, Dom will continue to solidify his role in the linebacker rotation and should build upon his total numbers from last season.
