Vashon Brunswick II is an ascending UTEP linebacker with early playmaking juice
Brunswick II showed flashes as a true impact defender in limited 2025 action, posting 6 tackles and 1.0 sack in 2 games, while UTEP’s roster and spring-game coverage point to him as part of a defense that’s leaning on his energy and upside in 2026. He arrived with a strong Texas prep résumé — 157 total varsity tackles over his final two high school seasons — and his appeal is the blend of pursuit speed, downhill physicality, and versatility as a linebacker/edge type. If you want a young, aggressive defender who can grow into a bigger role, he’s a smart fit.
