long, physical Georgia State linebacker with upside and a blue-collar frame
Chandler Covington enters the 2026 season as a 6-3, 210-pound sophomore linebacker for Georgia State, bringing a length-and-speed profile that can translate well in run support and edge-setting. He was a productive high school edge rusher at Grayson, helping the program win three straight region titles from 2022-24 and reach the 2023 GHSA Class 7A Final Four, which hints at a player used to winning and pressure moments. His early college production is still modest, so the appeal is upside, toughness, and developmental room rather than proven stat-sheet volume.
