A rangy, returner LB with upside, but still proving his role
Jacob Robinson is a 2026 junior linebacker for Sam Houston listed at 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, and he returned as part of the Bearkats’ linebacker room rather than as a locked-in starter. In the 2025 season, he logged 5 total tackles across limited action, which points to a depth role more than a featured one. The appeal is profile and potential: he has a solid build, good athletic upside for the position, and enough roster value to stay in the mix. If you want immediate production, he’s not that guy yet; if you want a developmental LB with size, toughness, and room to grow, he’s worth a look.
