Brock Coyle (born October 12, 1990) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Montana Grizzlies and signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
Coyle played college football at the University of Montana in Missoula. As a true freshman in 2009, he collected thirty tackles and two interceptions as a linebacker, then redshirted in 2010 following off-season surgery. In 2011, he played in all fourteen games for the Grizzlies, and was the team's sixteenth leading tackler despite not starting a single game. In 2012, Coyle enjoyed a breakout season when he started eleven games and tallied 107 tackles. His average of 9.73 tackles a game ranked him 28th in the nation, and he was an honorable mention All-Big Sky Conference selection.[1]
As a fifth-year senior in 2013, Coyle had his finest college season with the Grizzlies while starting at inside linebacker, leading the team with 125 total tackles, which put him among the nation's leaders. He forced four fumbles and intercepted two passes, giving him five interceptions for his college football career, and was a second-team All-Big Sky selection.[2]
While at Montana, Coyle was teammates with future NFL linebacker Jordan Tripp and cornerback Trumaine Johnson.
