Dion Steele '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Dion Steele, and I’m a 6’0”, 210-pound linebacker known for my aggressive pursuit, field awareness, and relentless motor. Football has been more than a game to me—it’s a lifestyle built on discipline, accountability, and grit. Every snap is an opportunity to make an impact, and I take pride in being the kind of player who brings energy, leadership, and physicality to every down.

I play fast, read offenses with intent, and thrive in both run-stopping and pass coverage situations. My strength lies in diagnosing plays quickly, shedding blocks, and making decisive tackles. I bring a physical edge to the game but also approach it with a high football IQ and a deep respect for preparation and execution.

Off the field, I’m coachable, driven, and team-oriented. I believe that leadership starts with work ethic—showing up early, pushing myself and others in the weight room, film room, and on the field. Whether it’s special teams, first-team reps, or scout defense, I give everything I’ve got because I understand that success is earned, not given.

I’m hungry to compete at the next level, to grow under strong coaching, and to contribute to a program that values toughness, discipline, and heart. I bring intensity, humility, and a never-quit mindset, and I’m ready to put in the work to be great.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
