 Draft Scout College Football Player News: Georgia State
Previous 15 Notes |Back to Page One| Next 15 Notes


  Already Georgia State's career leader in sacks, senior defensive end Hardrick Willis will look to add to that total this fall. Three-year starter and two-time All-Sun Belt performer has 12.0 career sacks, including 10.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss over the last two seasons. Last fall, the Jonesboro, Ga., native was second on the team and third in the Sun Belt with 6.0 sacks, helping Georgia State rank No. 7 in FBS with a school- record 35 sacks. He was also a key contributor on a GSU defense that allowed averages of 3.86 yards per rush (school record) and 136.7 rushing yards per game (second-best in school history).

Willis teams with senior noseguard Dontae Wilson to give the Panthers a veteran presence on the defensive line, where every key contributor returns. Willis will always hold a special place in Georgia State football lore for a huge play that he made in the Panthers' iconic victory at Tennessee in 2019. That afternoon at Neyland Stadium, on the second play of the game, he caused a fumble that teammate Ed Curney recovered at the UT 23 to set up a touchdown and start the Panthers on their way to the 38-30 win, the first in school history against a Power 5 opponent. - Georgia Southern Football

  To say that All-Sun Belt Conference offensive guard and team captain Shamarious Gilmore is the elder statesman of the Georgia State program would be an understatement. One of six "super seniors" who have elected to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the pandemic, Gilmore is the only one who has been in the program for six years. He enrolled at Georgia State in the fall of 2016 and took a redshirt year. Gilmore earned a starting berth as a redshirt freshman, and he has been in the lineup ever since. Not only has he started 47 consecutive games on the offensive line, but he has rarely come out of the game.

During that time, he has been a key figure in the top three rushing seasons in program history in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and has helped the Panthers average 221 yards rushing, 433 yards of total offense and 32 points per game over the last two years. Gilmore is the first player in GSU history to be a four-time all-conference selection, including first-team All-Sun Belt honors last season. He also made history as the first, and still the only, GSU offensive lineman to score a touchdown. He realized that lineman's dream as a freshman in 2017 at Charlotte, when he recovered a fumble in the end zone after a blocked field goal. Known as "Quion," his full name is Shamarious Da'Quion Bernard Gilmore. - Georgia State Football

  07/08/21 - Quavian White, rSr/2023, Georgia State, 5-09, 185 (DS#62 CB) + More +

  Senior cornerback Quavian White has a chance to etch his name into the Georgia State record books this season. He enters 2021 with six career interceptions, just one behind Chandon Sullivan's school record of seven. White also ranks third in GSU annals with 23 career pass defended (interceptions plus breakups), two behind Sullivan's record of 25. Georgia State's season opener against Army should bring back good memories for White. In the Panthers' 2019 victory over the Black Knights, the GSU cornerback sealed the 28-21 win with an interception at the 2-yard line on fourth down with one minute left.

White had similar late-game heroics last season against Georgia Southern with an interception in the final two minutes to preserve the Panthers' 30-24 victory. The Greer, S.C., native earned second-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors in 2020 as he ranked fifth in the conference and No. 20 in FBS in pass defended with three interceptions and eight pass breakups, helping the GSU defense rank No. 8 in turnovers forced. White also contributed 1.5 of the Panthers' school-record 35 sacks from his cornerback position. - Georgia State Football

  With the college football season just over two months away, now is the time for fans to quench their appetite with preseason magazines. Phil Steele's College Football Preview recently hit the streets featuring 14 Panthers on its Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference teams, led by four first-team selections: RB Destin Coates, WR Sam Pinckney, G Shamarious Gilmore and PK Noel Ruiz.

Six more Panthers made Phil Steele's Preseason All-Sun Belt second team: TE Roger Carter on the offensive side, as wells as NG Dontae Wilson, DE Hardrick Willis, ILB Blake Carroll, CB Quavian White and S Antavious Lane. That's five members of a Georgia State defense that ranked in the Top 10 in FBS in sacks and turnovers created while setting a school record for fewest rushing yards per carry allowed. - Georgia State Football

  06/11/21 - Malik Sumter, rSr/2023, Georgia State, 6-1, 299 (DS#48 C) + More +

  The center of attention for the Georgia State offense is Malik Sumter, a three-year starter and two-time All-Sun Belt Conference performer on the front line. Including Sumter, all five starters return on the Panthers' offensive line, which has been a key component in Georgia State's record-setting offenses, paving the way for a productive running game while protecting the quarterback for an explosive passing attack. As a unit, the offensive line enters the 2021 season with 137 career starts. Sumter has started 28 straight games at center, helping the Panthers average 219 yards rushing per game since he moved into the starting lineup. Not bad for a guy who had never played center before college! - Georgia State Football

  06/07/21 - Chris Moore, rSr/2022, Georgia State, 6-1, 216 (DS#121 SS) + More +

  Safety Chris Moore is one of seven "super seniors" who are back for more, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the pandemic. The Ashburn, Va., native made an immediate impact at GSU as a starting safety with 34 tackles, one tackle for loss, three pass breakups and a forced fumble. Moore had one of his best games in the LendingTree Bowl win over WKU with five tackles and two pass breakups to help the defense allow a season-low 284 yards of total offense.

Another top performance came at Appalachian State, when he made a season-high eight tackles as the GSU defense held the Mountaineers to their season low of 310 total yards. In another strong defensive effort at South Alabama, Moore forced a fumble that the Panthers recovered. He also contributed on special teams, executing a fake punt vs. ULM, when he took a handoff and ran 32 yards for the first down. - Georgia State Football

  05/20/21 - Terrance Dixon, rSr/2024, Georgia State, 5-07, 175 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  In 2021, Terrance Dixon earned the unique distinction of becoming the first Georgia State player to wear jersey No. 0. When an NCAA rule change made 0 a legal number legal for the first time, that jersey was coveted, and Coach Elliott elected to award it to the player who best exemplified doing everything the "right way," on the field and off. Although "Lil T" is one of the smallest players on the team at 5-7 and 170 pounds, Dixon is a productive force on the GSU offense. He was fourth on the team with 19 receptions for 215 yards, along with nine rushes for 88 yards.

He saved his best game for Georgia Southern with seven caches for a career-best 77 yards, including two crucial catches on the winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. Dixon is a former walk-on who was awarded a scholarship prior to the 2019 season, when he originally earned his starting berth. He had a breakout game in the Panthers' win over Furman with eight catches for 68 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the first half, but suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second half. The Columbus, Ga., native is scheduled to earn his degree this summer before playing his final season. - Georgia State Football

  Outside linebacker Shamar McCollum transferred to Georgia State from Wake Forest. McCollum, who is from Hamer, S.C., and is listed at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, played two seasons for Wake Forest, recording 24 tackles, including 6.5 tackles for loss and two sacks, in 18 games. He played in seven games in 2020 and collected 10 tackles, including tackles for loss against N.C. State, Syracuse and North Carolina. - Marietta Daily Journal

  Four All-Sun Belt Conference honorees are among the 2020 seniors who plan return to compete for the Georgia State football program in 2021, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted due to the pandemic. First-team All-Sun Belt offensive guard Shamarious Gilmore, the only four-time all-conference player in program history, will return for his sixth year and fifth year of competition with the Panthers. With all five starters returning, the GSU offensive line will enter 2021 with 136 career starts. - Georgia State Football
