A.J. Penson brings a versatile, development-friendly LB profile to North Texas
Penson profiles as a **high-upside, coachable defender** whose value is more about projection and fit than flashy box-score production; the most recent public stat trail available in the results shows very limited tackling output in 2025 for a similarly named player, so he reads as a depth-and-development piece rather than a proven starter. What makes him interesting is the *defensive versatility* and adaptability hinted by the available player information, which can matter for special teams and multiple linebacker looks. If North Texas wants a hungry, system-fit LB with room to grow, he’s worth a closer look.
