After four years with the Texas Longhorns, linebacker Mo Blackwell is ready to try his hand in the 2025 NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday.
Before his time on the Forty Acres, Blackwell was a star at Arlington Martin, accruing a consensus four-star rating and choosing Texas over Alabama, Georgia, and more. Blackwell was ranked as the No. 371 player nationally and the No. 39 linebacker in the 2021 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, although opinions differed about whether he would grow into a linebacker or remain at his high school position of safety.
