1976 Rookie Profile: Steve Poole

Linebacker
Free Agent
Tennessee
"Steve was signed as a free agent. He notched 111 total tackles as a senior (74 solos), averaged 17 solos per game in 1974 and racked up more tackles than any middle linebacker in Tennessee history (182- 111 solos, 71 assists). Poole played both the middle and outside as a three-year starter. He played a key role in the Vols upset of Maryland in the 1974 Liberty Bowl.
He has size and fair speed. A hard hitter, Steve is extremely aggressive in third-down situations. He particularly enjoys blitzing from the middle linebacker position.
Steve majored in business administration. His hometown is Oglethorpe, Georgia."
