SMU LB Lincoln Schick: intriguing depth piece in a linebacker room that’s loaded for 2026
Lincoln Schick is worth a look because SMU’s 2026 linebacker group is being described as the strongest defensive room on the roster, with all three key contributors from 2025 back, so he’s in a healthy, competitive environment if he’s pushing for snaps[1]. Publicly available season-by-season stat detail on Schick is limited, but that usually means his best selling point is fit: depth, energy, and development upside in a program that values linebacker production and continuity[1][2].
