Heath Farwell (born December 31, 1981 in Fontana, California) is an American football player who plays linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings.
High School
Farwell attended Corona High School in Corona, California, and was a letterman in football, baseball, and track&field. As a junior, he had 96 tackles and 12 sacks en route to all-league honors. He recorded 129 tackles and 10 sacks as a senior, earning first-team all-Mountain View League as well as all-Riverside Press-Enterprise county all-star.
College
In 2002, he was ranked 5th on the team with 59 tackles, and his three quarterback sacks were 4th in the Mountain West Conference among linebackers. During the season, he also recorded 10 tackles for loss, while having a season best eight tackles versus UCLA. His four forced fumbles were tops in Mountain West. The following year he started six games at outside linebacker and finished the season with 52 tackles and 3.5 quarterback sacks. He also recovered two fumbles on the season versus Air Force and UCLA, and had a season high eight tackles versus Utah. As a senior, he started all 11 games for the Aztecs and was third on the team with 69 total tackles. He also added a team best seven sacks, two interceptions and forced four fumbles. He finished his career with 180 tackles, 13.5 sacks and nine forced fumbles in 3 seasons at San Diego State.
Pro career
Farwell was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2005 out of San Diego State. He was named the special teams MVP for the Vikings at the end of the 2006 NFL season.[1] In his two-year career, Farwell has appeared in 23 games and accumulated 34 tackles and a fumble recovery. If you look on every one of the Viking's kickoffs, you will see Farwell, #59, either make the tackle or be right next to tackler which is why he won special teams MVP in 2006 and will likely win it again this year.
