Louisiana’s edge-rushing linebacker who can wreck a game in a flash
Whitfield enters the 2026 season as a proven disruptor for Louisiana after earning national and Sun Belt weekly honors in 2024 for a school-record 4.0-sack, 2-forced-fumble performance at Southern Miss, and he was named second-team preseason All-Sun Belt in 2025. He’s a long, physical 6-foot-3 outside linebacker with clear pass-rush juice, run-lane discipline, and an intense “game-wrecker” vibe that coaches love in pressure packages. If your team wants an experienced, high-motor linebacker who can turn one drive into a disaster for the offense, Whitfield absolutely merits attention.
