Zavier Hamilton is a rising, physical linebacker with tackle production and special-teams value for USF
In the 2025 season, Zavier Hamilton posted 37 total tackles for South Florida, including 3.0 tackles for loss, after appearing sparingly in 2024 while battling injuries, which hints at a player still ascending rather than peaking. At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, he brings downhill physicality, reliability in pursuit, and enough versatility to help on special teams and in the linebacker rotation. His background as a high-output high school defender and his current steady snap growth make him a solid fit for a defense that wants a tough, active, assignment-sound linebacker.
