Stefan Houston brings veteran linebacker toughness to Marshall
Houston profiles as a physically active, team-first linebacker who earned early-career production at Marshall, including 41 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble in the 2013 season, plus 16 tackles in 2014 before his role shifted heavily to special teams. His calling card is instinctive run support, downhill energy, and versatility rather than flash—he looks like the kind of player who makes a defense feel organized and nasty. The main care factor: if Marshall wants a grinder with proven snap experience and special-teams value, Houston fits; if it wants elite sideline-to-sideline explosiveness, he is more of a solid role piece than a headline star.
