About this episode
The episode discusses the best linebackers in college football heading into 2026, comparing independent Top 10 lists.
Who is the best linebacker in college football heading into 2026? We built our Top 10 lists independently and compared them — and we couldn't be more different. Xavier Atkins or Sammy Brown at No. 1? Is Anthony Hill Jr. a top 5 linebacker or does he not even crack the list? Where do Rolijah Hardy, Rasheem Biles and Whit Weeks land? We break it all down with the stats and reasoning to back it up. The Linebacker Debate is on — and we're not backing down. Find us at thewalkonredshirts.com and follow us on Twitter at @walkonredshirts and Instagram at @thewalkonredshirts. Drop your linebacker rankings in the comments — who is your No. 1?
