Underrated Oklahoma State LB with blue-collar size and special-teams edge
In the 2026 season, Braden Spicer is listed by Oklahoma State as a 5-11, 217-pound redshirt freshman linebacker from Union High in Tulsa, and his profile is still largely development-focused rather than stat-heavy[1]. That makes him a fit for teams that value toughness, versatility, and room to grow: his biggest differentiators are compact linebacker build, local pedigree, and the kind of no-drama, workmanlike profile that usually translates to special teams and depth first[1][2].
