Charlie Gilliam brings size, experience, and dual-threat upside to Samford’s QB room
Gilliam is a 6'3", 200-pound sophomore transfer who already showed he can run the offense at a high-usage prep level, leading Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy’s all-time passing list before joining Samford and Wake Forest, and his 2025 Samford debut showed both promise and growing pains: 25 completions on 41 attempts for 258 yards, plus a rushing score in spring action. [1][2][5] His best fit is a system that values poise, arm talent, and mobility, but the five-interception 2025 stat line suggests he is still developing consistency and decision-making. [1]
