Jackson King gives Northwestern State a sturdy, active-side LB with early production and room to grow
In the 2025 season, Northwestern State linebacker Jackson King played in all 12 games, made two starts, and finished with 14 tackles, showing up as a reliable, physical depth piece rather than a flashy stat collector. At 6-foot-0 and 215 pounds, he already has the frame to play downhill, and the fact that he earned his first career start as a redshirt freshman suggests the staff trusts his readiness. The fit reads as simple and appealing: smart, tough, and still developing.
