Reliable LSU Special-Teams LB with Resilience and Football IQ
Malbrue is a depth linebacker whose value comes more from toughness, versatility, and special-teams reliability than eye-popping box-score production: in 2025 he logged 12 games for LSU and contributed on special teams after returning from the ACL injury that ended his 2024 opener against USC[9][15][17]. He has never been a high-volume defender, but coaches can trust his effort, academic discipline, and willingness to do the gritty work—he’s a fit for teams that want a mature, team-first linebacker who can help on coverage units and provide dependable depth[9][15].
