Josh Gettemy brings early-scrimmage production and size to Illinois State’s linebacker room
Gettemy is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker who opened Illinois State’s 2026 fall camp with 12 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in the first scrimmage, a strong indicator of activity and range at the second level.[4][6] The early numbers suggest a player who shows up around the ball and can help in run support; the biggest differentiator is that he is already producing in a competitive camp setting rather than just projecting on paper.[6] If you want a physical, high-motor LB with clear early momentum, he fits the profile, though public game-by-game production is still limited.[4][6]
