UTSA's Intense Money Backer with Forced Fumble & Sack in 2025
Marcellus Wilkerson, a 6'1", 210-lb junior linebacker for UTSA, delivered a breakout 2025 season with 31 tackles, 18 solo stops, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble across all 13 games, earning three starts at the money backer position. His differentiators include elite intensity, a knack for creating chaos (e.g., forcing a fumble and sacking Rice in a 61-13 win), and consistent big-stop ability, including six solo tackles against Army. Though he redshirted in 2024 after limited action, his 2025 intensity and versatility make him a high-fit, battle-tested linebacker for teams needing a disruptive, reliable presence in the middle of the defense.
