Louisiana’s rangy, disruptive downhill LB who turned production into pro stock
In the 2025 season, Jaden Dugger became a true difference-maker for Louisiana, posting 125 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 4 sacks while adding an interception and a forced fumble, a leap that helped turn him into a 2026 fifth-round NFL Draft pick. He stands out for his size-speed combo, long frame and blitz value, but the tape also shows a coverage and missed-tackle profile that needs refinement. If your team wants a high-motor, playmaking linebacker with real versatility and edge, he’s a strong fit.
