Ayindae Pugh is already flashing as a rangy, active-run stopper for Alcorn State
Ayindae Pugh, a 6-foot-0, 215-pound linebacker from Mobile, has opened the 2026 season with 9 tackles through two games, including 4 against Miles and 5 at Southern Miss, plus a pass breakup against Southern Miss[1][11]. His early production suggests a downhill, assignment-sound defender who shows active hands and enough range to be involved in both run support and coverage[1][11]. The best fit here is a team that wants a physical, reliable linebacker who brings energy, consistency, and contact balance rather than splashy stat-chasing[1][11].
