a name to watch in Weber State’s linebacker room
Brady Nielson is a Weber State linebacker worth tracking because the Wildcats’ 2026 defense is already being leaned on heavily, and linebackers in that kind of setup have to be dependable, physical, and assignment-clean. The catch: the available public data surfaced inconsistent player records, so the safe read is that Nielson profiles as a depth or developing piece rather than a proven stat-sheet star right now. If he brings downhill pop, tackling discipline, and special-teams grit, he fits the classic Weber State mold—hard-nosed, low-drama, and useful in a program that values instinct and toughness over flash.
