Matt Kingsbury is a depth linebacker with size and special-teams upside for Minnesota
Kingsbury is a 6-foot-3, 230-pound sophomore linebacker for Minnesota whose value is built more on projection than splashy production, with career totals of 24 solo tackles, 17 assists, 2.5 sacks, and 3 fumble recoveries across three seasons. In 2025, he has been a rotational contributor, and his frame and inside-linebacker profile suggest a player who can add toughness, length, and physicality if his snap count grows. He is a good fit for a team that wants a disciplined, developmental defender who can plug gaps, chase downhill, and contribute on special teams rather than a finished, high-volume starter.
