KJ Gilbert brings playmaking flash to Lamar’s secondary
KJ Gilbert is a 5'10", 178-pound junior defensive back for Lamar in the 2024 season, and his most memorable recent impact was a 60-yard fumble return touchdown against Southeastern Louisiana in 2023[1][2]. That kind of sudden-change playmaking matters: he profiles as a DB with closing burst, ball instincts, and a knack for turning chaos into points, which coaches love in a secondary[1][2]. The fit question? If your team wants a spirited, opportunistic defender who can swing momentum, Gilbert is the kind of take-a-shot, bring-energy prospect worth tracking[1].
