CJ Talabi-Oates enters Wagner’s 2026 linebacker mix as a young, physical freshman
In the 2026 season, CJ Talabi-Oates is a freshman linebacker at Wagner listed at 6-2, 205 pounds and wearing No. 96, with early roster pages showing him as an active part of the Seahawks’ linebacker room.[1][4][5] The appeal here is the frame and the long-term upside: he arrived from the Boston area after being listed as a defensive end/outside linebacker in recruiting, which hints at edge-versus-space versatility rather than a one-trick profile.[11][12] There is no public 2026 game log or stat line yet, so this is more of a projection play than a proven production bet right now.[2][5]
