Name: Adam Fakih
Height:
6’2″
Weight:
227 lbs.
High school:
Detroit (MI) Country Day
Position:
Linebacker
Class:
Redshirt sophomore
Jersey number:
#41
Last year:
I ranked Fakih #104 and said he would be a backup linebacker (LINK). He played in one game.
TTB Rating:
N/A

Fakih is in a tough spot as a backup linebacker on a team that doesn’t take its top linebackers off the field very much. But he’s doing work on the scout team, where he was named Scout Team Player of the Week twice during the 2018 season.

Coming out of high school, I thought Fakih could be a plugger at inside linebacker. He won’t be relied upon to play heavily this year, but he played some special teams against Nebraska last year, and he might see some snaps this year in the right situation. Either way, he’s a good program guy.

Prediction: Backup linebacker, special teamer
