Tra Ranson brings downhill toughness and splash-play potential to Lindenwood's linebacker room
Tra Ranson’s track record at Lindenwood shows a reliable, physical linebacker who’s been around the program and has flashed production when given the chance. In 2022, he played in six games and finished with 12 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss, including a seven-tackle outing with a TFL against UT Martin, a nice little “I’m here” game. He stands out for his hit-first style, willingness to do the dirty work, and steady growth in size and role; that makes him a fit for teams valuing toughness, special-teams grit, and a linebacker who can punch above the stat sheet.
