Brady Sarkisian is a depth LB with Texas-sized pedigree and sneaky upside
Brady Sarkisian enters the 2026 season as a senior linebacker at Texas, listed at 6-1, 225, and has been a steady developmental piece after arriving as a preferred walk-on[1][8]. He’s still early on the stat sheet—most recently recording one tackle in 2025—but his background as a high-school edge defender shows chase speed, toughness, and a nose for disruption, with 65 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks over his junior and senior seasons combined[14][3]. The appeal is less flash, more reliability: a hard-nosed, improving front-seven player who fits a special-teams or rotational role and brings the kind of blue-collar energy coaches tend to love[1][6].
