Justin Coles brings rangy, fast-rising linebacker upside to Navy
Justin Coles looks like a high-upside Navy linebacker with the speed and length to play in space, and his recruiting profile praised him as a rangy, athletic playmaker with notable burst for the position. At St. Thomas Aquinas, he showed impact-play ability with 40 tackles, 2 interceptions, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in his 2022-23 season, while Navy lists him as a 6'2", 196-pound junior OLB in 2026. His fit is strongest for teams that value pursuit speed, versatility, and an aggressive, downhill style rather than pure bulk right now.[5][4][14]
