Nevada freshman LB Jayden LaGrone brings local pedigree and disruptive playmaking
LaGrone arrives at Nevada as a **freshman linebacker** with a track record of impact plays, highlighted in high school by **104 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, and three forced fumbles** in his 2022 season; that blend of production and backfield disruption suggests a defender who can attack downhill and create negative plays. He also adds local familiarity as a Reno native, and his high-school résumé points to a high-motor, physical fit for a team looking for depth and upside at linebacker.
