About Eklund Updated Aug 20, 2026

Justin Eklund brings steady linebacker depth and proven academic reliability to Bowling Green

Justin Eklund is a 6-2, 235-pound junior linebacker whose game is built on reliability, run support, and special-teams-style usefulness rather than flash; in the 2025 season, he appeared in seven games for Bowling Green, logged seven tackles, added half a tackle for loss, and recovered a fumble, while in the 2024 season he played in 12 games and made 15 tackles. He’s also been recognized on the All-MAC Academic Team, which fits the profile of a disciplined, coachable player who can fill a role without drama. If you want a dependable, physical depth piece with smart-meets-grit vibes, he’s your guy.
