This episode of Locked On Colts features a detailed prospect spotlight on TCU linebacker Caleb Alarms-Orr, highlighting his impressive college production, athleticism, and potential fit for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2026 NFL Draft. At 234 pounds and 22 years old (turning 23 in August), Alarms-Orr recorded 130 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and 4.0 sacks in 2025, with elite combine numbers including a 4.47 40-yard dash and 40-inch vertical. The hosts praise his speed, aggression, and potential as a blitzer and run defender, though they note concerns about his instincts, especially in coverage and play-action situations. Despite being a project player, his athleticism and production make him a strong candidate for the Colts in rounds three or four. The episode also discusses the Colts’ reported presence of a linebacker coach at Alarms-Orr’s pro day, suggesting interest, and explores whether he could start in Year 1, particularly at the weak-side or Will linebacker position, while potentially being phased into the Mike role over time. The hosts conclude that Alarms-Orr is a high-upside, versatile, and athletic option that fits the Colts’ needs if they miss on higher-tier linebackers.
Caleb Alarms-Orr is a high-athleticism linebacker with 130 tackles and 4 sacks in 2025, making him a strong fit for the Colts in rounds 3–4.
His 4.47 40-yard dash and 40-inch vertical at the combine make him one of the best-tested linebackers not named Sonny Stiles.
While he lacks instinctual play in coverage and play-action, his run defense and aggression make him a viable starter in Year 1 at Will linebacker.
The Colts’ reported visit from a linebacker coach at his pro day signals strong interest in his profile.
He could serve as a speed and versatility upgrade, especially alongside Akeem Davis-Gaither, and is seen as a 'consolation prize' if top linebackers are off the board.
