Jacoby Windmon brings edge-rushing pop and turnover-making instincts to MSU’s linebacker room
Windmon stood out for Michigan State in the 2022 season with 49 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks in his first eight games, flashing the kind of disruptive, high-motor play that makes defensive coordinators grin. His calling card is versatility: at 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, he can blitz, chase plays sideline to sideline, and create chaos with six career forced fumbles at MSU. The caution flag is durability and availability—his 2023 season was cut short by injury, and his Spartan tenure ended after a suspension and portal exit. If you want intensity, pass-rush juice, and edge, he fits; if you need a clean injury history, less so.
