Senior LB Powerhouse with Elite Tackling and Sack Intensity for MTSU
Brandon Buckner, a 6'0", 248-lb senior linebacker for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, delivered a standout 2025 season with 38 total tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 7.5 tackles for loss—tying for sixth on the team in stops while leading in TFLs. His differentiators include relentless intensity, a rare blend of size and agility for a LB, and a career-high sack rate that signals NFL-ready pass-rush potential from the linebacker position. Buckner played all 12 games with five starts, showing durability with no reported injury history, and brings a Charlotte, NC-born, team-first personality that elevates locker room culture. He’s a high-fit prospect for teams needing a versatile, sack-hungry LB who can stop runs and pressure quarterbacks alike.
