FAU linebacker Makai Sawtelle brings size and active developmental upside
Makai Sawtelle is a junior linebacker for Florida Atlantic listed at 6'2", 228 pounds and is currently active on the roster, giving FAU a physically sturdy defender with classic LB build and room to keep climbing. His profile points to a developmental fit rather than a finished product: he has the frame to handle contact, play downhill, and compete in the box, which matters for teams valuing toughness and growth potential over headline stats. I’d care because he looks like a dependable depth-and-upside defender who can fit into a physical scheme.
