versatile JMU linebacker with real two-way athleticism
Trashon Dye is a redshirt freshman linebacker at James Madison who brings rare versatility and toughness: he played in all 14 games in 2025, finished with eight tackles, and even logged two rushing attempts for 12 yards, hinting at a football player who can impact a roster in more ways than one.[3] His high-school resume was loaded on both sides of the ball, and JMU’s listing shows a runner-turned-defender with a high motor and physical edge rather than a polished stat-sheet star.[3]
