Army OLB Christian Yousefzadeh brings size, special-teams value, and steady depth to the Black Knights
In the 2025 season, Christian Yousefzadeh played in 12 games for Army and, in 2024, appeared in 13 games while recording a few tackles and even a 10-yard kick return, which tells you he’s more than just a linebacker body on the roster.[2][8] At 6-foot-3 and 226 pounds, he offers the length and frame Army likes on the edge, and one preview pegged him as part of the outside-linebacker rotation heading into 2026.[2][9] The big differentiator: dependable depth with special-teams utility, not flashy stat-padding—useful if you want a physical, assignment-sound defender who fits a hard-nosed Army style.[2][8]
