| #59 Tyler Steele is the man in the middle for the 'Cats 2012 defense. |
Linfield Defensive Tackle, Tyler Steele (Sr.), has been named a 2012
1st Team preseason All-American by D3football.com. Steele is coming off a 2011 season where he was named a
3rd team All-American by D3.com after dominating the middle of the field for the Wildcat defense. The 6'1" 265 lbs. defensive tackle out of West Salem High School (Salem, Or) led the Northwest Conference last season with 13 quarterback sacks, while accumulating 18 tackles for loss, and 49 total tackles. He was the dominate interior player in the NWC and one of the elite defensive linemen in the country last season. Based on his performance in 2011 and headed into his 4th year as a Linfield starter, his appearance on this preseason team was expected and very much appreciated.
