Austin Peay’s rangy playmaker: Will Middleton brings proven tackling and game-changing upside
Will Middleton is a smart, physical linebacker who already flashed impact production in the 2024 season at Towson, where he started all 12 games and finished with a team-leading 87 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble. At Austin Peay in 2025, he’s shown he can swing a game with splash plays, including a 26-yard pick-six and a career-best 2.0 tackles for loss in a UAC Defensive Player of the Week performance. If your team wants a disciplined, high-motor LB with proven production, big-play instincts, and a veteran résumé, Middleton fits nicely.
