steady WKU linebacker coming off a 74-tackle senior season
Brackenridge was a reliable every-down piece for Western Kentucky in 2025, playing all 13 games, starting eight, and finishing tied for second on the team with 74 tackles plus 5 tackles for loss, a sack, 3 pass breakups, and a forced fumble. His calling card is a well-rounded linebacker profile—strong pursuit, solid recognition, and the ability to contribute in both pass rush and coverage—which he himself has emphasized. After a 2024 season cut short by injury, his durability and production in 2025 make him a good fit for teams wanting a tough, experienced, assignment-sound linebacker with playmaking flashes.[2][3][9]
