Jakel Houston-Irving brings size and early upside to Alcorn State’s linebacker room
Houston-Irving is a **freshman linebacker** at Alcorn State with a pro-style frame at **6-3, 228** and already logged action in the **2025 season**. ESPN lists him with **3 total tackles** over two games, while Alcorn State still labels him an active part of the roster, suggesting a young defender being eased into the rotation.[1][2] His appeal is mostly in the tools: he has the size to hold up against the run and enough early experience to project as a developing, physical fit for a defense that can afford patience.[1][3]
