HEIGHT: 5'11" MINING ENGINEERING
WEIGHT: 230
Parents: Tony and Diane Brill
Everett is a gifted athlete that in nine games played during his 2006 senior season, recorded 154 total tackles, which was a high school record — 99 of which were solo tackles, also a school record. Also in his high school football career, he earned first team all region honors, first team all league honors, second team all Northern Region, all state academic honors, team MVP and was a coaches award winner. He adjusted well to the college level and provided some good depth to an already talented linebacker unit. His sophomore season should be even more promising.
