Army’s steady inside linebacker Baylor Newsom brings toughness, leadership, and limited-flash reliability
Baylor Newsom is a senior inside linebacker for Army in 2026, listed at 6-1, 224, and he fits the mold of a disciplined, physical Black Knights defender who has earned his keep the hard way. In 2025, he played in all but one game and finished with nine total tackles, including a four-tackle outing at UAB and two solo tackles in the Fenway Bowl; he also flashed playmaking chops with an interception in 2024. His edge is not headline-grabbing volume, but consistency, intelligence, and a battle-tested background that includes a Bishop Kenny tackle record and team-captain pedigree.
