Physical, Versatile R-Sr. DB Bringing 9.5 TFL Intensity to Georgia Southern
Carlo Thompson is a Resenior (R-Sr.) Defensive Back from Richmond, VA, who differentiates himself as a **physical, versatile transfer** with a walk-on grit developed at Virginia and UNC Pembroke. Standing 6'0" (listed as 6'2" by some scouts) at 180 lbs, he posted **48 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss (TFL), 1 interception, and 4 pass breakups** in his most recent season, proving he plays with **high intensity** and a knack for disrupting plays behind the line. While his 2025 postseason stats show 7 tackles in limited action [1][10], his **EA Sports rating of 69 OVR with 82 SPD** highlights his speed as a key asset [2]. He is an ideal fit for teams needing a **special teams contributor** (56 plays in 2025) who can also step in as a physical coverage DB without needing a redshirt, offering immediate value through his **transfer experience and physicality** rather than just raw stats [5][6].
