Georgia Tech’s do-everything linebacker who lived in the backfield
In the 2005 season, Gerris Wilkinson was the engine of Georgia Tech’s defense, leading the team with 85 tackles and adding 9 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and 2 interceptions. He stood out for versatility, production, and instincts—coaches trusted him at multiple linebacker spots, and reports consistently praised his toughness and disruptive play. The big draw here is a defender who doesn’t just clean up plays; he creates them. If you want a high-motor, assignment-sound linebacker with proven playmaking juice, Wilkinson is absolutely the kind of fit that can elevate a defense.
