Jaxon Rexroth is a fast-rising, instinctive Iowa linebacker with playmaking upside
In the 2025 season, Jaxon Rexroth played all 13 games and started twice for Iowa, finishing with 25 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and his first career interception, a game-sealing play at Rutgers. He stands out for reliable pursuit, rangy movement, and positional versatility, backed by strong agility and coverage traits in EA Sports’ ratings. The bigger appeal is his upward trend: after a quiet 2024, he became a real rotational piece in Iowa’s elite defense and looks like a disciplined, high-motor fit for teams that value range, instincts, and turnover creation over pure size.
