UC Davis linebacker Jack Knudtson arrives as a physical, developmental Aggie piece
Jack Knudtson is a 6-foot-1, 225-pound sophomore linebacker for UC Davis in the 2026 season, and the early read is that he brings size, transfer experience, and a ready-made body for the Big Sky grind.[1][2][3] UC Davis described him as one of the defensive additions in its 2026 position preview, which suggests he’s in the mix to bolster depth rather than just stash on the bench.[4] The upside is the frame and contact-ready profile; the unknown is production, since publicly available game-stat detail is still thin, so he reads more like a useful, hard-nosed fit than a proven star.[1][4]
