a seasoned Eastern Washington linebacker with size, special-teams value, and a blue-collar edge
Shane Aleaga is a 6-foot, 221-pound linebacker for Eastern Washington who has been on the roster since 2021 and, in the 2024 season, appeared in one game against Idaho State. His value looks less like flashy box-score production and more like depth, readiness, and physical presence in a Big Sky linebacker room. He has also been described as an honorable-mention all-league linebacker in high school, and the “Sugar Shane” nickname hints at a player with some personality. If a team wants a steady, developed defender with experience and toughness, he fits the mold.
