Summary
Kyle Louis is a classic tweener who, 20 years ago, likely would have been a strong safety but now projects as a weakside linebacker. Those safety-like movement skills serve him well in coverage, where he played an overhang role for Pittsburgh over the past two seasons. In that span, he recorded six interceptions and five pass breakups. His coverage ability isn’t in question -- what is, however, is how he’ll fare when forced to take on blocks between the tackles at the NFL level.

Dolphins' Kyle Louis: Heads to Miami
The Dolphins selected Louis in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 138th overall.
The Dolphins took a linebacker for the second time this draft, as they previously scooped Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech at pick No. 43. Louis is an interesting prospect. He's quite small for an NFL linebacker at 6-foot, 220 pounds, but he's a fantastic athlete with a 4.53 40-yard dash and a 39.5-inch vertical jump. Louis showcased impressive range in college at Pittsburgh, piling up stats at both linebacker and in coverage. Over his final two seasons, he generated 182 tackles, 24.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks, 12 pass breakups and six interceptions. Louis isn't expected to line up in the box on every snap in the NFL because of his size, but he's a fluid player who rarely missed tackles in college. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley likely has a vision for Louis as a versatile defender.
