Tyler Grubbs named to 2020 FWAA Freshman All-American Watch List

RUSTON, La. – Louisiana Tech freshman linebacker Tyler Grubbs has earned a spot on the 2020 Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-American Watch List.

The New Orleans native out of Holy Cross School leads the Bulldog defense this season with 51 tackles, including 16 solo and 4.0 for a loss of nine yards. The freshman ranks fourth in the nation in total tackles with 51 and 16th in tackles per game with 10.2. Grubbs has also recorded one pass breakup and one forced fumble this season.

Grubbs opened the 2020 campaign with a season-high 16 tackles at Southern Miss. The 16 tackles tie for the most by a Bulldog this season. Grubbs led LA Tech in tackles in back-to-back games to open the 2020 season, totaling 28 tackles through the first two contests.

This year’s FWAA Freshman All-American team will represent the 20th since its inception and feature a list of seven semifinalists and three finalists later this season leading up to the unveil of the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year.

Tech (3-2, 2-1 C-USA) returns to action Saturday when it travels to UTSA (3-3, 1-1 C-USA) to face the Roadrunners at 7 p.m. (CT).
