Former ASU linebacker known for range, tackles-for-loss juice, and edge
Nigel Carr was a disruptive Alabama State linebacker in the 2010 season, posting 73 tackles in 16 career games with the Hornets, including 9.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, an interception, 4 quarterback hurries, and a forced fumble[2][5]. His calling cards were athleticism, downhill burst, and playmaking in space—he was once rated among the nation’s top linebacker prospects before his college career was derailed by legal issues[10][11][12]. If you value upside and instinctive hitting, he’s the kind of linebacker who can swing field position; the red flag is off-field baggage and a career that never fully stabilized[5][12].
