Bilukidi was Georgia State’s original trench-setter and still owns the program’s pass-rush legacy
In the 2011 season, Christo Bilukidi was Georgia State’s top defensive lineman, leading the Panthers in sacks and tackles for loss while earning recognition as one of the nation’s better NFL/CFL prospects; his blend of size, power, and disruptive edge play made him a foundational piece for an emerging program. The big differentiator: he didn’t just rack up stats—he set the tone, became a captain, and left Georgia State as the school’s first NFL draftee, which says plenty about his competitiveness, toughness, and fit for a defense that wants violence at the point of attack.
