Towson’s young tone-setter: Ben Kumpon is already a captain
In the 2025 season, Ben Kumpon flashed immediate value as a true freshman at Towson, leading all Tigers freshmen with 33 tackles while playing in all 12 games; he also earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors after a seven-tackle outing against Bryant. For the 2026 season, he’s been named a captain as a sophomore, which is a huge tell: coaches clearly trust his instincts, toughness, and competitiveness. He looks like a high-floor linebacker who can diagnose quickly, tackle consistently, and grow into a defensive backbone.
