Gabriel McArthur brings veteran size and early-season snaps to UVA Wise’s linebacker room
Gabriel McArthur enters 2026 as a senior linebacker at Virginia-Wise, listed at 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds on the Cavaliers’ roster, and he’s already appearing in the stat sheet early this season with 2 games played, 3 tackles, and 3.0 total tackles in the 2026 cumulative stats. His value looks like the classic steady LB package: veteran presence, solid frame, and enough trust from the staff to be on the field right away. For a team needing maturity and physicality in the middle, he looks like the kind of fit that can clean up traffic and set a tone.
