Emmanuel Small brings compact, physical linebacker play to Wagner
Small is a 5-foot-9, 191-pound sophomore linebacker at Wagner whose profile is built on toughness, leverage, and scrappy effort rather than size, which can make him a useful fit for teams that value quick diagnosis and downhill urgency. He is not a nationally ranked headline recruit, but his value comes from his compact frame, defensive mindset, and willingness to compete in traffic. For a team looking for a high-motor, assignment-sound linebacker who can bring energy and physicality, he is the kind of depth piece worth watching.
