Fast-rising, playmaking freshman LB who created turnovers for Akron
In the 2025 season, Markus Boswell flashed real upside for Akron, playing in 11 games and finishing with 19 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 pass breakup, and 1 interception—production that screams “ball hawk” more than stat-padder. His standout trait is impact: he showed up in the backfield, took the ball away, and made plays in both run support and coverage. At 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, he looks like a sturdy, active linebacker with some edge-value versatility, and the fact that Texas brought him in after that debut says plenty about the buzz.
