Monroe Beard III is a rising, disruption-minded linebacker for Marshall
In the 2024 season, Monroe Beard III emerged as a real difference-maker for Marshall, playing in all 13 games and saving some of his best football for the stretch run: 17 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and a sack in the Sun Belt Championship win over Louisiana, plus a forced fumble against Southern Miss. At 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, he looks like a compact, energetic linebacker who plays with urgency, finishes plays, and brings special-teams value. If you want a downhill defender with late-season momentum and some nasty to his game, he’s worth your attention.
