Scouting Report: Get to know Senior Bowl standout LB Kyle Louis

Pitt's Kyle Louis presents as one of the more intriguing linebacker prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. Get to know him here!

We have made it through the first part of the 2026 NFL Draft pre-draft process, and the all-star circuits always leave us with standouts to circle back to. One of those standouts is Pitt linebacker Kyle Louis, who has earned today’s scouting report.

Louis opted not to return for his Redshirt Senior season at Pitt after he racked up 81 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, two interceptions, and a forced fumble for the Panthers in 2025. While he is a bit undersized, coming in at 5-foot-11 and 224 pounds at the Senior Bowl, Louis put on a show in Mobile.

Throughout the week, Louis was one of the more consistent performers day in and day out. Over the last two days of the event, Louis was a hound in coverage, getting his hands on numerous footballs to create turnovers.

So, we have to get to the tape and write up his skillset. Does the tape match the effort that he put on the field in Mobile?

Here is the 2026 NFL Draft profile on the tantalizing Pitt linebacker Louis.
