Everett Currie brings high-volume tackling instincts to Murray State’s linebacker room
Currie is a 6-foot-1, 210-pound redshirt freshman linebacker who arrives with a clear calling card: production and pursuit. In high school, he posted 132 tackles as a junior and 125 tackles as a senior, showing consistent run-stopping range and a nose for the football. Murray State lists him as a 2025 freshman with no college statistics yet, so the evaluation is still projection-heavy, but his profile suggests a downhill defender who fits best in a system that values physicality, effort, and instinctive play over polish.
