Tarleton State LB Steve Albert Jr. brings size, disruptive instincts, and proven ball production
Steve Albert Jr. is a 6-foot-3, 218-pound junior linebacker who has already shown playmaking upside at Tarleton State, including an interception, a forced/recovered fumble, and consistent tackle production across his first two seasons. In 2024, he played all 14 games and finished with 22 tackles, 2 pass breakups, and a quarterback hurry, while his 2023 debut included a key takeaway on a single play. His edge is versatility and impact: he can cover enough to create turnovers and is physical enough to finish plays, making him a solid fit for a defense that values range, opportunism, and special-teams-like effort on every snap.
