Ponte Vedra's Tackling Star Poised to Shine as WMU Freshman LB
Maddux Babin, a consensus three-star freshman linebacker at 6-1, 210 lbs for the Western Michigan Broncos, dominated high school at Ponte Vedra with 49 tackles, 3 INTs, 6 PBUs, 5 QBHs, and a sack in 2023, powering an 8-4 squad and earning All-Conference/District honors plus a Dream All-American Bowl nod[2][3]. His ball-hawking instincts and pass-rush upside make him a versatile defender with NFL traits—perfect for teams needing sideline-to-sideline intensity and playmaking pop from a hungry Florida prospect ready to climb depth charts fast.
