Big-bodied, developmental LB with upside in Charlotte’s system
Parker Startz arrived at Charlotte as a 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker from Ohio and was listed as a sophomore in 2025, giving him the look of a downhill, physical fit for a defense that values size and range. He did not record meaningful college stats in 2024, so the appeal is more projection than production right now, but his measurables and 73 overall rating in EA SPORTS College Football 26 suggest real upside. If your team wants a linebacker with length, mass, and a clean developmental runway, Startz is worth a close look.
