About Stroud Updated Aug 13, 2026

MJ Stroud Is Georgia Southern’s Most Disruptive Front-Seven Playmaker

Stroud enters 2026 coming off a breakout 2025 season in which he logged 33 tackles, a team-high 15.5 tackles for loss, a team-high 6.5 sacks, and a team-high three forced fumbles, earning first-team All-Sun Belt honors. He’s a high-motor edge/DL piece who wins with burst, disruption, and finishing ability more than raw bulk, and his 2025 impact shows he can flip drives by wrecking run plays and pressuring quarterbacks. If you want a defensive tone-setter who creates negative plays, he fits.
