Mikey Rosa brings size, tackling volume, and early-career upside to The Citadel’s linebacker room
Rosa is a 6-foot-3, 245-pound freshman linebacker for The Citadel who logged 16 total tackles in 2024, with 11 solo stops and 5 assists, which suggests a young defender already seeing the field and contributing in run support.[1] His profile points to a physical, downhill fit rather than a splash-play specialist: no sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, or pass breakups were recorded in that season, so his value is more about size, contact readiness, and developing consistency than headline production.[1] For a team, he looks like a developmental linebacker with good frame and early game experience who could grow into a reliable inside presence.[1]
