A Gwinnett County defensive lineman on the rise to know about in the 2028 class, Shivers is a lean, athletic pass-rusher who holds a handful of respectable D1 offers, but should see bigger ones come his way over time. The South Gwinnett standout had a very productive sophomore season last year as he made 61 tackles, 18 TFLs and five sacks. He shows a great first step off the snap and consistently finds himself in a position to create chaos and make plays in the backfield. He’s currently ranked as the No. 13 DL prospect in Georgia for the 2028 class.

Shivers got after it last year to the tune of 5.5 sacks and over 21 TFL’s as a sophomore, and he did it all under 200 pounds. With more time in the weight room, his size should come along, and he will surely play bigger as a junior. Some of that burst you want in a pass rusher is still coming along as he fills in, but his hand usage, motor, and ability to get blockers off-platform are evident and stick out on tape. There is plenty of upside here to continue tracking.

10/10/25: Still a puppy. Thin with the bulk of his physical development ahead of him. Good athlete, runs the arc, and pursues the ball well. Looks loose athletically. For how thin he is, surprisingly good against contact and fights hard. Might project out similar to B. Weivoda (Milton ’26 LB). Holds Kennesaw State offer.

A productive Gwinnett County defender who has been one of the more productive EDGE defenders in his region, Shivers is a long, athletic linebacker who has started his sophomore season in a big way. He shows quick hands and the ability to set the edge against the run, but he can make plays in the backfield as well. The Snellville native has made 9 tackles, 5.5 TFLs and 2.5 sacks so far this season and has a chance to earn All-Region honors is he continues to put up strong numbers. He appears to be one of the top under-the-radar defenders in Gwinnett County for the 2028 class.
