Carson Sloan brings proven run-stopping pop to App State’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season at Samford, Carson Sloan produced 82 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 8 quarterback hurries and 5 pass breakups while starting all 12 games, which is the kind of all-around production App State covets at linebacker. He looks like a physical, downhill defender with good size, strong tackling instincts and enough range to hold up in coverage; the scouting notes also flag room to grow in reading plays and fitting gaps, which is a coachable upside trait. Short version: he’s a sturdy, active transfer who can help fast.
