ETSU’s Drew Armbrister brings leader-grade grit to the linebacker room
Armbrister is a redshirt freshman linebacker for ETSU in the 2026 season with a reputation for football IQ, leadership, and physical play built at Greeneville High, where he piled up 313 tackles, 34 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. ETSU lists him at 5-foot-11, 218 pounds, and his value goes beyond raw stats: he’s described as a humble, high-work-ethic leader who thrives on the mental and strategic side of the game. He’s a good fit for a team that wants a tough, instinctive tone-setter with upside.
