Zavier Carter brings NFL-sized length and veteran edge to Georgia State’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Zavier Carter showed up as a physical, experienced linebacker for Georgia State at 6'4", 225 pounds, with 10 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss across 10 games, plus a history that includes stops at LSU, UNLV and UCF before landing in Atlanta. His calling card is range-plus-length: he looks like a matchup headache in space and a clean fit for a defense that wants an older, steadier presence. The upside is clear if you want a disciplined, veteran LB who can help set the tone; the question is whether his production can jump from solid role player to true impact defender.
