Rodriguez collected a slew of awards in 2025, including taking home the Butkus Award, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and was a Heisman Trophy Finalist and named to the Associated Press All-America First Team. He tallied 128 tackles, seven forced fumbles, four interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 2025. For his career, Rodriguez became the only FBS player since 2005 to record at least 300 tackles, 10 forced fumbles, five interceptions and five fumble recoveries.
“Rodriguez arrived in college as an offensive “athlete” and leaves Texas Tech as a bigger-than-life, stat-stuffing linebacker. He’s uniquely productive, with elite tackle, interception and forced fumble production… He projects as a long-term starting inside linebacker.”
