Maddox Arnold brings rangy, high-character linebacker upside to Toledo
In the 2025 season, Maddox Arnold arrived at Toledo as a 6-2, 225-pound linebacker ranked by ESPN as the No. 43 inside linebacker nationally and a three-star recruit, with prep production that included 87 tackles and three sacks in his league. Toledo’s staff highlighted his character and football IQ, and his background shows a physical, high-effort defender who can fit a team that values toughness, reliability, and special-teams-ready energy. He looks like more of a steady, fast-rising add than a stat-stuffer right now, but the upside is clear.
