He might not have the accolades, but Jordan Glasgow has overachieving in his blood, and one site has taken notice.

The youngest of the Glasgow brother trio who all walked on at Michigan before earning a scholarship, Jordan has the biggest of the three in his uphill battle to join the other two in the NFL, as he didn’t receive an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month, and he couldn’t show of his skills at Michigan’s planned March 13 Pro Day, as it was canceled due to coronavirus concerns. In the few seven-round NFL mock drafts that have circulated, Jordan Glasgow hasn’t been mentioned as one of the players selected.

But perhaps he should be.

They say tackling is a lost art in football, but it’s one that Glasgow has mastered. Scouting website Pro Football Focus charts just about everything in college and pro football, tackling included. And it turns out, there was no better player in the entire country in 2019 that was as good as Glasgow was.

In 2019, Glasgow earned a starting role at WILL linebacker, and posted his best season yet, playing in all 13 games with 89 tackles, 7 for a loss, 5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
