veteran Alabama A&M linebacker with old-school toughness
In the 2011 season, Markeit Cliatt emerged as a steady inside linebacker for Alabama A&M, stepping up from backup duty and ranking among the Bulldogs’ more productive defenders late in the year. Listed at 6-foot, 230 pounds, he brings a compact, physical build that fits a downhill, run-stopping role, and reports from the time described him as patient, ready, and dependable when his number was called. He looks like the kind of linebacker who helps set a defensive tone rather than chase headlines—useful if a team wants toughness, maturity, and reliability in the middle.
