Corey Lucius brings veteran edge and run-fit punch to Alabama State’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Corey Lucius posted 32 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a pass breakup in 10 games, then entered 2026 as a senior and preseason third-team All-SWAC pick for Alabama State. He looks like a steady, physical middle-of-the-defense linebacker whose biggest value is leadership, alignment, and run-defense timing; local reporting says he’s one of the leaders of the room and is synced well with fellow starter Mitchell Robinson Jr. If you want a dependable, veteran LB who can anchor the middle and help stabilize a defense, he’s a strong fit.
