steady Lamar DB with early-season snaps and special-teams value
In the 2025 season, Edward Gilds has been a rotational defensive back for Lamar, logging limited defensive production but showing up in the stat leaders with tackles and game action, including 5 tackles across the season and a 2-tackle outing against North Texas.[5][15] At 6-foot-0 and about 194 pounds, he brings a solid frame for the position and appears to be a depth piece who can help on the back end and in support roles.[1][2] The key takeaway: he looks like a reliable, physical roster fit rather than a headline-grabber—useful if a team wants size, experience, and a developmental DB with room to grow.[2][12]
