-Looking for a linebacker that is tough as nails with the strength thru blocks to back it up? College coaches across the Dakotas need to know about SFC’s Jensen Pixler Jensen Pixler 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Sioux Falls Christian | 2026 State SD as our top 3 linebacker in this class.

-He is surely a high motor linebacker that is well-balanced in every skillset you look for at that position especially against the run. You won’t miss on Jensen from a contact perspective, as this kid knows how to lay the hammer.

-Oddly Jensen has just one NSIC offer and if there is an undersized linebacker that I am looking at in the Dakotas in that conference, Jensen would surely be my first look.

My gut tells me Jensen is coming out with a chip on his shoulder into summer, as a All-Conference Honorable Mention that when you roll the tape, easily looks like a first teamer incoming into his senior season. The 6’0 210 pounder from Sioux Falls Christian, shows off the agile twitch that impresses me coming out of his stance, as it doesn’t take look to see the wirey motor come out once he identifies the ball carrier as Jensen made another leap forward this fall with his vision too as he was a stockriser in our last 2026 update. Jensen also plays with a rumbling downhill presence as a run-stopper that you can’t miss at all. One local NSIC program has offered Jensen as I wouldn’t be surprised to see more come in within the next-level surely.

I called out my 2027 new name I liked out of South Dakota linebackers, and now it is time to call out my 2026 new name out the same, which is Jensen Pixler out of Sioux Falls Christian. Named to our 2nd Team All-Camp Team for linebackers, Jensen showed off impressive range with his measurables that I saw in Sioux Falls. He also showed off long-seen vision and processed downhill on every rep I caught at our Dakotas Combine. The motor on Jensen runs like pickup truck into the gaps on tape and I’ll be stoked to watch the growth of Jensen in the coming years or two out of Sioux Falls Christian. Twitter
