Kadin Bailey is a veteran EMU linebacker with bounce-back upside
Kadin Bailey enters the 2026 season as a senior linebacker for Eastern Michigan, bringing size, experience, and a second-chance feel after missing most of 2025; ESPN listed him with 2 solo tackles in 2025, and EMU’s roster lists him at 6-foot-2, 230 pounds. He looks like a fit if you want a physical, assignment-sound LB who can stabilize the middle, but the key question is health and durability after a mostly lost year. The appeal is straightforward: veteran body, transfer pedigree, and a chance to be more than a depth piece if he stays on the field.
