College career

Coyle played college football at the University of Montana in Missoula. As a true freshman in 2009, Coyle collected 30 tackles and 2 interceptions for the Montana Grizzlies while playing linebacker. Coyle redshirted the 2010 season following off-season surgery.

In 2012, Coyle enjoyed a breakout season when he started 11 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]

In 2013, Coyle had his finest college season with the Grizzles while starting at inside linebacker as a redshirt senior. Coyle led the Grizzlies with 125 total tackles, which put him among the nation's leaders. He also forced 4 fumbles and intercepted 2 passes, giving him 5 total interceptions for his college football career. He was named to the 2013 Big Sky All-Conference Team as a second-team selection.[2]

While playing at the University of Montana, Coyle was teammates with future NFL linebacker Jordan Tripp and cornerback Trumaine Johnson (cornerback).
