Ryan Maxwell brings volume, reliability, and back-to-back tackle production to LIU's secondary
In the 2026 season, LIU defensive back Ryan Maxwell has opened with 17 tackles through two games, including 9 against Kansas and 8 against North Dakota, showing he’s around the ball and willing to finish plays. He’s a senior/graduate-level presence at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, and LIU’s own game recaps highlighted him as a defensive leader in both early-season losses. The appeal here is simple: physical, active, and experienced — a steady fit for a team that wants a DB who can tackle, diagnose quickly, and contribute immediately.
