Young linebacker with early-season tackling upside
Jonathan Goins is a redshirt freshman linebacker at Alabama A&M whose value is built more on range, effort, and defensive instinct than on a big statistical résumé so far. He logged five tackles in an early 2024 game for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and his background suggests a player who can step into contact, play with urgency, and develop into a dependable linebacker room piece if his processing and consistency keep improving. That makes him intriguing for a team needing toughness, special-teams energy, and upside rather than immediate star production.[3][6]
