Can Lindenberg be what Minnesota's defense needs?
Tyler Nubin was the anchor of the Gophers defense the past two seasons. He changed the way teams game-planned and he was top five on the team in tackles both years. Now heading into 2024, Minnesota is searching for a dynamic playmaker on defense who can become of the new face of the defense. One player up to the task may be linebacker Cody Lindenberg.
In 2023, he missed a major chunk of the season with a mysterious injury. It later came out to be an issue with his hamstring and then he played in Weeks 9, 10, 13 and the bowl game. It seems like he has been part of the Gophers' program for quite a while, but he has started 11 games in his four-year career.
As a redshirt sophomore in 2022, Lindenberg had his best collegiate season, totaling 71 tackles, which ranked second on the team. According to Pro Football Focus , he earned a 66.5 overall grade, a total based off of a 66.7 mark in run defense and 64.2 in coverage.
