Bubba Boone is a rangy freshman linebacker with upside and splash-play juice
In the 2026 season, Bubba Boone arrives at Murray State as a 6-3, 210-pound freshman with real athletic upside and a playmaking résumé from South Sumter HS: 78 tackles, 3 interceptions, 6 pass breakups, 3 forced fumbles, and six touchdowns in 2026. He was a 2x All-Region and All-District performer, which hints at instincts, ball skills, and a nose for impact plays rather than just stat-padding tackles. For a team needing length, energy, and a linebacker who can create turnovers, he looks like a developmental fit with upside.
