High-upside Spartan linebacker with elite pedigree and patience baked in
Ah You enters Michigan State in 2025 as a physically imposing 6-3, 230-pound linebacker who was rated among the best LBs in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports (No. 50) and ESPN (No. 81). He originally signed with Oregon State, then spent two years on an LDS mission before enrolling at Michigan State, so the big story is projection, not production yet. The upside is clear: size, straight-line burst, and a reputation for aggressive, physical tackling. If you want a developmental defender with upside and maturity, he’s a fit; if you need immediate on-field volume, patience is the keyword.
