Malik Stinnett is a rising Bethune-Cookman linebacker with SWAC-level impact
In the 2024 season, Malik Stinnett was a steady, disruptive presence for Bethune-Cookman, finishing fourth on the team with 53 tackles, adding two tackles for loss, four pass breakups, and a fumble recovery. He’s the kind of linebacker coaches love: active in space, physical at the point of attack, and reliable enough to earn preseason all-league recognition. The growth from limited freshman snaps to a productive sophomore year suggests real upside, and his instincts plus versatility make him a strong fit for a defense that wants an energetic, assignment-sound playmaker.
