Silakivai Carmichael brings versatile linebacker size and grit to North Texas
Silakivai Carmichael is a 6-foot-1, 223-pound North Texas linebacker from Grand Prairie who has shown value as a tough, adaptable defender with team-first versatility. In the 2020 season, he appeared in all 10 games and logged his first career tackle in the Myrtle Beach Bowl, and earlier coverage noted he was asked to take on a bigger role when depth thinned at linebacker. That kind of “next man up” utility is useful for a roster, even if his public stat line is still modest; he projects more as a dependable, physical depth piece than a headline-grabber.
