Alex Altemus was New Jersey’s leading tackler this season. Altemus runs through contact, allowing the force he generates from running full speed to drop ball carries. It is my best guess that he was likely the most physical presence on any given play this season. This is backed up by the fact there was a clip of two where Altemus lined up with his hand in the dirt. Altemus was able to make nearly 200 tackles this season due to the superior pursuit angles he takes. When he is not pursuing, you can find him in the backfield, as Altemus accelerates nicely when he seems the backside window open up. On rollout plays Altemus does a nice job slow playing the sprint-out, allowing himself a two-way go to drop and cover or close in on the quarterback. For as solid as an enforcer Altemus was during his senior year, I am certain that colleges would appreciate clips of him in pass coverage and disengaging blockers.
