Experienced, reliable Ball State linebacker with special-teams grit
In the 2024 season, Jackson Wiegold emerged as a steady depth piece for Ball State, posting 20 total tackles with 12 solo stops and 8 assists while also adding 2 tackles for loss; in 2025, he had 9 tackles through 3 games. At 6-2 and around 224 pounds, he looks like a classic smart, physical linebacker: dependable in rotation, useful on special teams, and battle-tested after redshirting in 2021 and steadily climbing the depth chart. The fit is clear for a team needing toughness, experience, and a no-drama defender who plays hard and does the dirty work.
