Blaine Carver is a developmental Texas State linebacker with special-teams upside
Blaine Carver enters 2026 as a redshirt freshman linebacker for Texas State at 5-foot-10 and 203 pounds, and the current public data shows he redshirted in 2025 without game action, so the evaluation is more projection than production right now. What makes him interesting is the frame-to-role fit: he’s a compact, active defender who can add value through physicality, gap discipline, and special teams while he grows into a larger college workload. If your team wants an under-the-radar, high-energy linebacker with room to develop, he’s a reasonable watch-list fit.
