Freshman linebacker Aaron Radke brings Penn size, special-teams upside, and a high-upside frame
In the 2026 season, Aaron Radke is a freshman linebacker at Penn listed at 6'2" and 215 pounds, with a background that includes four varsity years at St. John’s Prep and a 2022 Massachusetts state championship pedigree[1][3]. He looks like a rangy, developmental defender with enough size to grow into the college game and the athletic profile to contribute quickly on special teams. The appeal here is the combo: physical tools, proven winner, and a blank canvas for Penn’s staff to shape into a steady Ivy League linebacker[1][3][13].
