About Breland III Updated Sep 13, 2026

Willie Breland III brings size, juice, and a ready-to-hit linebacker frame to Iowa State

Willie Breland III enters the 2026 season as a junior linebacker for Iowa State at 6-2, 218 pounds, with early production and two-deep upside after transferring from Mississippi Gulf Coast CC. In Iowa State’s 2026 opener vs. SEMO, he posted 5 tackles, including 3 solo stops and 2 assists, showing he can find the ball and finish plays. His appeal is the blend of physicality, experience, and a workable frame for Big 12 linebacker duty. If you want a downhill, high-motor tackler who can add depth now, he’s a solid fit.
