EM Speed and Power Training
Weber State defensive end Kevin Linehan
is a bit of a jokester.


He likes to pull pranks on teammates and make wisecracks about them in the locker room. His best prank, he says, is one he pulled on roommate Cody Nakamura and his girlfriend. The pair was returning home from getting ice cream, and Linehan had taken a mannequin head and hooked it up on the roof of the house they share. He had it set up so that when Nakamura opened the front door when he got home, the head came swinging at him.
"It scared him and his girlfriend pretty good," Linehan said.
He's found other ways to annoy teammates, such as covering a nickel with a band-aid, and attaching it to a fishing line and having it knock against one of their windows all night.
"Little things like that put a smile on my face," Linehan said.
The other Wildcats put up with his antics — and try to get back at him and top him — because they know they couldn't ask for a better teammate than Linehan. When he's on the football field or in the weight room, Linehan is all busines s.
Linehan is a high-motor, high-effort, high-character athlete who makes a lot of plays on the edge for the Wildcats. He is the team leader in sacks with five, recorded 44 total tackles and forced three fumbles in 11 games this season. Linehan earned first-team all-conference honors this season for his efforts.
"He's a football player — that's what he does," said Weber State coach Ron McBride. "He's a student, too, but football is what his life is built around. He's a great team guy. He's a big-time player."
Linehan might be playing his final game in a Weber State uniform on Saturday when the Wildcats face William & Mary in the first round of the FCS playoffs. When his career wraps up, there will be a huge void to fill on the Wildcats' defense.
But hardly anyone could have projected the impact Linehan would have at Weber State during his collegiate career.
Linehan had no scholarship offers coming out of Los Alamitos High in California. Weber State only learned of Linehan because his brother-in-law had a mutual friend shared with former Wildcats defensive coordinator Kevin Clune. That connection got some game film of Linehan into Clune's hands, and he later took a recruiting trip to Ogden. He signed with Weber State after national signing day and was given a partial grayshirt scholarship.
It didn't take long for the Wildcats to give Linehan a full ride and it was one of the best things they've done during McBride's tenure. He's started in 36 straight games and had 198 career tackles. He's recorded 22.5 career sacks, which ranks third all-time in school history.
