Marcellius Pulliam brings size, special-teams grit, and portal value to the linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Marcellius Pulliam was more of a rotational piece than a headline-grabber, but he still showed the kind of sturdy, assignment-sound profile teams like: a 6-foot-2, 239-pound linebacker with 22 career games, 97 special-teams snaps, and 36 defensive snaps in his second year at Michigan State. The main draw is his physicality, experience, and ability to help on coverage units while developing into a steadier linebacker; the caution flag is that he has remained a depth option rather than a proven every-down starter, and he later entered the transfer portal, which signals a search for a bigger role.
