Freshman outside linebacker Jonathan Sharp brings size and upside to USD’s front seven
In the 2026 season, San Diego freshman Jonathan Sharp is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker/outside linebacker with a strong high-school résumé and clear developmental upside. USD lists him as a 2026 roster addition from Venice High, where he piled up 145 career tackles, 48 tackles for loss, and 16.5 sacks, plus First Team All-City and All-Conference honors. That production suggests a disruptive edge rusher with length, motor, and playmaking instincts — the kind of young defender who can fit a team needing energy and bite off the edge.
