The retention of the linebacker core is huge for Tulane's defense.
Dickson Agu returns from a season-ending injury, while Chris Rodgers and Makai Williams continue to lead that group.

Spring ball begins for Tulane next week.
The Green Wave will look different, but big pieces are returning. Jack Tchienchou, Dickson Agu, Chris Rodgers, Makai Williams, etc.
Williams on 2026:
"I can't tell you how excited I am to have the guys I know that work hard coming back"
Tulane, fresh off a CFP run, opened its new practice facility. The $7 million indoor project is something @DavidHarrisAD said was years in the making.
"If you're doing well in football, there will be carryover in all of your other sports programs."

🌊Positional Breakdown🌊
🔥Linebackers🔥
Tulane returns Sam Howard, Dickson Agu, and Charles Rodgers who all got serious playing time last year. Howard thrives in stopping the run while Agu and Rodgers will most likely come in on passing downs again.
Makai Williams looks to crack the lineup with Jesus Machado leaving for Houston. He is a true workout warrior and puts the time in the gym. Williams was a key special teamer last year, look for him to have a breakout year.
Jean Claude Joseph also returns for the Wave and looks to help out as well. In the transfer portal they added Dallas Winner-Johnson who excelled in the FCS level. He put together a really nice spring and continued to progress each day.
