Scouting Report

Michigan · 2026 draft class

Jimmy Rolder is an inside linebacker from Michigan who earned an invitation to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine after contributing to the Wolverines defense. PFF ranked him 340th on their predictive big board and he appeared on the SportsTalk Big Board in the Day 3 range. Rolder was identified among a group of linebackers that major scouting outlets planned to circle back and grade after draft declarations and all-star invitations were finalized alongside USC's Eric Gentry and Oklahoma's Kip Lewis. His Combine invitation suggests NFL teams see enough on tape from Michigan's defense to warrant a closer look at his athletic profile and technique. Playing at Michigan provided him experience against Big Ten competition and exposure to a championship-caliber defensive system. However detailed scouting data from major outlets is extremely limited as he was not ranked on Bleacher Report's Big Board or given a full evaluation by The Draft Network. His physical measurements strengths weaknesses and detailed technique analysis are largely unavailable from public scouting sources. His evaluation will depend almost entirely on his Combine performance and positional workouts.
