Que Billingsley flashes playmaking upside in Gardner-Webb’s secondary
Billingsley is a 6-foot, 190-pound sophomore defensive back who already shows impact-play ability, finishing the 2025 regular season with 35 tackles, 9 total tackles for loss, and 4.0 tackles-for-loss in one game against an FBS-level-looking 59-12 win context from ESPN’s game log; the stat line suggests a versatile, active defender who can trigger quickly and affect the backfield. His appeal is upside: a young, active DB with size, production, and room to keep growing, which makes him worth watching for a staff that values physicality and instinct in the secondary.[1]
