Another Jacksonville State football linebacker out for the season

Walker O'Steen will join Mac Sanders as Jacksonville State football linebackers out for the 2026 season. Here's what to know about O'Steen's injury.

Jacksonville State football will be without starting linebacker Walker O Steen for the remainder of the 2026 season. Coach Charles Kelly announced this during a press conference ahead of their game against Kennesaw State. The nature of O Steen's injury remains undisclosed, but he was seen wearing a left knee brace during Middle Tennessee State's game.

O Steen has 90 tackles, seven for loss, and 2.5 sacks for the season. This marks the second injury for O Steen this season, following a lower-body issue suffered in the opener against North Dakota State. Despite these setbacks, Kelly remains optimistic about the team's linebacker corps, stating they will develop other players to fill the void left by O Steen.
