Richmond’s Rising, Built-to-Bump LB: Jackson Thorne
Jackson Thorne is a 6-3, 236-pound Richmond linebacker who appeared in four games as a freshman in 2025 and enters 2026 as a sophomore with clear developmental upside. His calling card is size with linebacker frame flexibility — the kind of athlete who can grow into more snaps if he continues adding strength, processing speed, and special-teams value. There isn’t much public stat volume yet, which usually means projection matters more than production right now. If your team wants a long, physical, high-upside defender with room to climb, Thorne is worth a close look.
