Joel Mireles brings size, experience, and tackling pop to Georgetown’s linebacker room
In the 2026 season, Joel Mireles enters as a junior linebacker at Georgetown at 6-foot-1, 228 pounds, with a resume that already includes four games and three tackles in 2024 plus a strong camp profile as a contender in a deep linebacker rotation. His calling card is old-school production: he was a multi-year captain in high school, earned repeated all-league/all-scholastic honors, and set school records with 112 tackles and 27 tackles for loss in a season. That kind of proven downhill, tone-setting identity makes him a fit for teams that want physicality, instincts, and a no-nonsense defender who shows up around the ball.
