Jackson Irwin brings captain-level edge to Idaho State’s front seven
In the 2025 season, Idaho State captain Jackson Irwin emerged as a disruptive linebacker with 14 total tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks, and coaches specifically praised him as “really dangerous off the edge” as a pass rusher.[1][9] At 6-foot-3 and 241 pounds in 2026, he looks like a physical, high-motor defender who fits teams that want a relentless edge player rather than just a box-only tackler.[12][14]
