Maverick LeBrun is a long, developing edge defender with hometown upside and early-career patience
In the 2026 season, Maverick LeBrun has seen limited action so far, logging 1 tackle in South Dakota State’s opener, but his profile is intriguing: a 6-foot-5, 255-pound redshirt freshman with local ties, strong high school production, and the kind of frame that fits a disruptive DE. South Dakota State redshirted him in 2025, so this is still a growth year—but the combo of size, academic discipline, and proven pass-rush production in high school (62 tackles, 7 sacks in 2024) makes him a smart developmental fit for a program that likes molding pressure players.
