Senior outside linebacker leads Toreros' defense after all-league snub
Dale Lindsey is more old school than leather helmets. As a result, the University of San Diego’s 79-year-old football coach does not issue platitudes casually.But when asked about senior outside linebacker David Ambagtsheer, the Toreros’ leading returning tackler, Lindsey doesn’t hold back the praise.
That freshman season Ambagtsheer played nickel back, a hybrid linebacker/safety position. But he was stuck behind Kama Kamaka, the team’s leading tackler who had three years of eligibility remaining. For the 6-foot-2 Ambagtsheer, bigger wasn’t better. He began suffering from acid reflux and other digestive issues on an almost daily basis.“It was pretty much a gut-wrenching thing for him to go through,” said his father, Bruce Ambagtsheer.“It was really more of a mental health sort of dilemma, figuring things out, seeing if I wanted to keep playing.” he said.
By March 2020, he rejoined the team for spring practice. He weighed 205 and moved to outside linebacker. The 2020 fall season was canceled by COVID. The Toreros played a six-game spring season in 2021 and Ambagtsheer started at outside linebacker. “If he stays true to form,” said Lindsey, “I think he could be a dominant player for us. I think he has a chance because he has height, is strong naturally. And he’s got a lot of speed and quickness.
