Gavin Greene brings old-school linebacker DNA to Southern Miss
In the 2026 season, Southern Miss lists Gavin Greene as a linebacker, but current public stat lines are scarce, so the clearer read comes from his profile: a 6-foot-1, 220-pound defender with a high-tackle high school background and NFL pedigree as the son of Kevin Greene, he projects as a physical, instinctive presence who should fit a team that values effort, toughness, and downhill play. The appeal is less about flashy numbers and more about a durable, hard-nosed identity that can lift a defense’s tone.
