1976 Rookie Profile: Wally Sonnie

Linebacker
Free Agent
Ohio
"Signed as a free agent, Wally was an aggressive tackler as a defensive end with good pursuit. He sacrificed possible postseason honors in 1975 by moving to defensive tackle after All-MAC honors as an end in 1974. He's an agile player with the intelligence to read offenses.
With 88 solo tackles and 72 assists in his final two seasons, and five tackles for losses in '75, Wally won three letters and was a member of the men's junior honorary club. He was named All-MAC academic two times with a B-plus average in mathematics.
Wally holds a B.S. in mathematics with plans for law school. At Cleveland's Collinwood High School, he lettered four years in football and track and was named to the Plain Dealer's 'Dream Team' as both a junior and a senior. His hometown is Cleveland."
