Blue Monroe returns healthy to anchor Western Carolina’s linebacker room
In the 2026 season, Blue Monroe enters healthy after an injury-hit 2025 and looks set for a bigger role for Western Carolina, where coaches highlight his versatility, athleticism and ability to play downhill at the second level. He has 53 career tackles and 11 tackles for loss across 27 games, and he earned preseason All-SoCon recognition in 2025 after flashing 36 tackles and 8 TFL in that season. If you want a linebacker who brings range, disruption and experienced depth, Monroe is absolutely worth the monitor.
