BC nose tackle Cam Horsley carries a heavy work load

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:05:28 GMT

Nose tackles are seldom noticed but command a lot of attention.Boston College nose tackle Cam Horsley understands the importance of the position in the Eagles’ front seven even though his work can go largely unrecognized. Horsley’s reward for doing this thankless task are the statistical windfalls enjoyed by the guys that have his back.When linebackers Vinny DePalma and Kam Arnold and strong safety John Pupel record double-digit tackles, it’s because Horsley is dealing with a center-guard double-teams at the point of attack.“It is underappreciated but if I’m one on one blocked, I’ll try and get off the block and make a play,” said Horsley. “If I’m double teamed, I’m eating up an extra blocker to make sure our linebackers are free.“It is definitely an unselfish position, but I try for production and make plays and stuff like that.”Horsley’s production is the one thing that has not gone unnoticed. The 6-3, 315-pound, senior from Riverton, N.J., is fifth on the team with 37 tackles wit...
