Kentucky’s workhorse development piece at linebacker
Landon Marcum is a 6-foot-2, 196-pound outside linebacker for Kentucky who has already shown the kind of profile coaches love: physical, smart, and reliable, with practice reps in both 2023 and 2024 and SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll recognition in 2023[1]. In high school, he was a two-year defensive end starter who posted 84 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks in 11 games as a senior, a strong signal of disruption and edge toughness[1]. He looks like a classic developmental fit for a program that values effort, versatility, and football IQ over flash[1].
