James Kingsbury brings plug-and-play thump to St. Thomas’ linebacker room
Kingsbury enters the 2026 season with a legit production resume: in 2025 at Ave Maria, the sophomore linebacker posted 91 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and a pass breakup, and he led all NAIA true freshmen in total tackles and tackles per game. He’s a 5-foot-11, 230-pound downhill tackler with proven volume, back-to-back 13-tackle games to finish 2025, and the kind of intensity that shows up on film even when the box score gets messy. If your team wants a physical, high-motor linebacker who already knows how to hunt the football, he fits the bill.
