Senior Blake Cashman and junior Carter Coughlin – who both attended Eden Prairie high school – have combined for 12 tackles for loss this year. In total, the two former Eagles, have negated 43 yards for the opposition.
Cashman leads the team with 6.5 tackles for loss (1.0 sack), but Coughlin is right behind him at 5.5 tackles for loss (4.0 sacks).
