William Felton IV is a developing South Alabama linebacker with a high-motor profile and special-teams value
Felton enters 2026 as a **redshirt sophomore** at South Alabama after appearing in nine games in 2025 and finishing with **four total tackles**, so he is still more projection than production, but the early read is encouraging.[2][6][8] His best traits are his **speed/athleticism blend** and play style: EA’s 2026 ratings give him a **76 speed**, **81 acceleration**, and **79 pursuit**, which points to a linebacker who can chase plays sideline-to-sideline.[3] If you need a young, physical defender with room to grow rather than an instant star, he looks like a sensible fit.[2][3]
