Max Walenta brings downhill linebacker toughness to Memphis
Walenta is a physical, effort-driven linebacker whose value shows up in run support, pursuit, and disruptive play; he was recognized as a South Defensive Top Performer in an all-star setting after forcing two fumbles, which hints at active hands and a knack for big moments. Memphis lists him at linebacker on its 2024 roster, and his background suggests a player who fits a defense that wants aggression, reliability, and edge. He looks like a good fit for teams needing a tone-setter more than a pure coverage specialist.
