Walk-on linebacker with compact, gritty upside for Charleston Southern
Aiden Krupa is a 5-foot-11, 195-pound linebacker from Ripon, California who joined Charleston Southern as a walk-on in spring 2024 and redshirted his first season, so his college résumé is still developing. The intrigue is in the background: a former two-way high school player, second-team all-league linebacker, and multi-sport athlete with wrestling and track chops, which usually shows up in leverage, toughness, and relentless effort. He looks like a depth-and-development add who could fit a defense valuing physicality, special teams mentality, and high-motor, coachable players.
