Gage Messick brings a solid, developmental LB frame and active UAB role
Messick is a 6'3" UAB linebacker with a modest 67 overall in EA Sports College Football 26, suggesting a player valued more for upside and fit than proven star power in the 2025 season. He profiles as a physical, linebacker-type presence who can help on the second level, but the publicly available data is thin on advanced production, so his appeal is more about developmental traits, size, and roster value than headline-grabbing stats. He looks like a reasonable depth or rotational fit for a team needing a steady, coachable LB with room to grow.
