Transfer LB Bringing JUCO Grit and 224-Lb. Power to Tennessee State
Gavin Forsha is a 6-2, 224-pound redshirt senior linebacker who transferred from Ball State to Tennessee State in July 2025 after a standout JUCO career at MJCA, bringing elite intensity and a 'next-man-up' mentality that defines his playing style [1][9]. Though he suffered a season-ending injury at South Alabama in 2024 that limited his 2024 stats to zero recorded tackles, sacks, or INTs, his physical profile and JUCO pedigree make him a high-upside differentiator for any defense seeking a hard-hitting, versatile LB [1][2]. His 73 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 27 reflects solid but developing all-around skills, and while injury history is a caveat, his Nashville roots and proven resilience suggest he’s a strong fit for teams needing a physical, high-intensity linebacker who thrives in the tackle box [4][7].
