After three stellar performances to begin the 2024 season, USC Trojans linebacker Eric Gentry ranks among the best defensive players in all of college football thus far. All-22 cutups are included.
Despite the Trojans' loss, Gentry had arguably the best performance of his football career against the Michigan Wolverines. Gentry amassed 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, and one forced fumble. With 26 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks, Gentry is not only a standout for the Trojans, but amongst the best defensive players nationally.
The numbers are one thing, but watching Gentry play is the real treat. At 6’6 Gentry has a frame more customary to that of a basketball small forward. To see the physical nature he plays with while having a frame like that is incredibly unusual. To be able to play with leverage and either spill or scrape over consistently and make tackles is impressive.
“Just with his versatility you know? He’s a guy that can do a lot of things. So, each week it might look a little different, but you can do just about anything with a guy his size and speed.” Lynn said earlier this season. That’s an emphatic endorsement from Lynn who has coached in the National Football League for multiple years and been around the best athletes in the world. To be a player that stands out in those aspects to a coach like Lynn highlights rare ability.
