Landon Barrett brings proven tackling production and playmaking upside to McNeese’s linebacker room
Barrett is a physical, active linebacker who flashed impact production in the 2024 season despite being slowed by injury, and his best trait is range-to-the-ball with a nose for disruptive plays. McNeese lists him as active and returning for 2026, and his background shows real ball production from his Coffeyville years plus a high-volume high school résumé with 110 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and a pick-six. He looks like a fit for a defense that values toughness, instincts, and versatility over pure size.
