Davion Sturgis is a long, rising EKU linebacker with playmaking upside
Davion Sturgis brings a prototype frame for a modern outside linebacker at Eastern Kentucky, listed at 6'3", 219 pounds in 2026, and he’s already flashed ball skills with an interception in EKU’s 2026 spring game. In the 2025 season, he appeared in one game and logged one tackle against North Alabama, so the sample is tiny—but the upside is obvious: size, length, and a high-motor, attack-style profile that showed up in high school with 109 tackles, 15.5 TFLs, 13 sacks, and five forced/recovered fumbles. He looks like a developmental fit for a defense that wants edge energy and disruptive traits.
