Hieko Malone gives Missouri State a quick, physical linebacker with above-average burst
Hieko Malone is a 6'1", 67-rated Missouri State linebacker in EA SPORTS College Football 26, with his best traits showing up in **acceleration (84)** and solid **speed (77)** and **strength (78)** for a compact, fast-reacting defender.[1] That profile suggests a player who can close space, chase plays from sideline to sideline, and bring energy rather than just pile up size-based stats.[1] If you want a linebacker who brings pace, effort, and reliable range, Malone is worth caring about as a developmental defender with clear athletic upside.[1][3][5]
