Resilient Texas LB Chasing NFL Dreams Post-College
Morice Blackwell Jr., a gritty 6'1" Texas Longhorns linebacker, wrapped his college career in 2024 with 30 tackles (17 solo)—a senior-year high—across 36 games, shining in key wins like vs. Michigan and CFP runs, despite early injuries like a 2023 knee issue that sidelined him.[1][2][4] A high school tackling machine (95 tackles as senior) turned special teams ace and rotational defender, his football IQ, versatility (LB/DB), and championship pedigree make him a hustle player with upside. Undrafted in 2025, he's now proving it in CFL with Calgary (6 ST tackles in 8 games), ideal for teams needing tough, injury-tested depth.[3][4]
