CJ Favors brings freshman linebacker upside to West Georgia
In the 2025 season, CJ Favors appeared in 10 games for West Georgia and finished with five tackles, showing early-college depth rather than headline production.[4] At 6-foot-0 and 217 pounds, he has a compact linebacker frame that fits a physical, run-stopping role, and his path from Manchester High School, where he posted 76 total tackles, suggests a player who already knows how to find the ball.[1][3] The appeal is developmental upside: he looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, special-teams utility, and steady growth over instant stardom.[4]
