Freshman LB Evan Gilder brings size and developmental upside to Miami (OH)
Evan Gilder enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-1, 235-pound freshman linebacker for Miami (OH), and the headline trait is obvious: he already has the frame to play downhill football. Roster listings and player pages show him as active, but there’s no public game log or stat line yet, so the real intrigue is projection rather than production. If you want a young linebacker with size, tackle-ready build, and room to grow into a reliable run defender, he’s a worthwhile watch; if you need an instant-impact, proven playmaker, the résumé is still being written.
