Timir Hickman-Collins is a rising UNC linebacker with special-teams juice and tackle-happy upside
In the 2025 season, Timir Hickman-Collins appeared in nine games for North Carolina, was a key special-teams contributor, and finished with 10 tackles, including a five-tackle outing at Wake Forest. At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, he brings an SEC-to-ACC transfer pedigree, good size, and a sturdy early-career profile as a redshirt sophomore. He was rated as a three-star recruit and among the better linebackers in his class, making him a developmental fit for a team that values range, effort, and young upside over instant stardom.
