| A productive linebacker with a good head for the ball in run defense, Herron has possibilities as a backup in a 34 alignment. |
| Biography: |
Three-year starter who posted 79/7/2 as a senior, intercepting one
pass and breaking up two more. Sophomore totals included a career-high
95 tackles.
Pos:
Tough, run-defending two-down linebacker. Flows to the action,
wedges his way upfield and quickly filling gaps in run defense.
Explosive at the point and quickly closes to the action.
Neg:
Does not play with great balance and is slow adjusting off the
initial block. Not decisive in coverage, chases opponents down the
field and possesses marginal ball skills. |
