Gannon Weathersby #3

James Madison · LB · Sr · 2027 Draft · Atlanta, GA · Langston Hughes

5-10 · 225 lbs

UDFA

Floor 5.1 · Ceiling 5.7

#1259 overall · #171 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Returning JMU starting linebacker and team leader with a full season of Sun Belt reps (57 tackles, 2.5 TFL, a sack in 2025). Production is respectable but unspectacular for an FBS starting LB, the frame is undersized (5-10/222), and there is no national draft attention. A program-glue starter who projects as a UDFA longshot.

Ceiling · 5.7

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · Sun Belt draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 5.1

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.
