Nylan Brown brings downhill, disruptive linebacker play with proven ball-stripping juice
Nylan Brown is a compact, physical linebacker who logged 38 tackles in the 2025 season for Kent State, added 2.5 tackles for loss and three QB hurries, and showed real splash-play ability with two forced fumbles in 2024. At 5-11 and about 235 pounds, he fits as a tough, inside-the-box defender who plays with urgency and punch rather than flashy measurables. He’s a good fit for a team that values effort, run fits, and turnover creation over pure size or sideline-to-sideline speed.
