Tyler Lassiter is a rising Southern Miss linebacker with tone-setter upside
Tyler Lassiter brings ideal size for the position at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds and has earned buzz in Southern Miss camp for his effort, physicality, and a nonstop “cause havoc” mentality. In 2026 preseason coverage, he was battling for snaps in a crowded linebacker room, and one scrimmage report said he led the team in tackles. He looks like a fit for a defense that values edge, energy, and downhill playmaking—especially if you want a linebacker who can keep climbing rather than just hold the line.
