Kaleb Cost #2

North Carolina · CB · Sr · 2027 Draft · Atlanta, GA · Sandy Creek

5-11 · 195 lbs

Priority UDFA

Floor 5.2 · Ceiling 6.0

#1039 overall · #104 CB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Cost is exactly the kind of proven, unglamorous starter the scale rewards modestly: a two-year nickel/safety with real ball production (64 tackles in 2024, then 45 tackles, an INT and 5 PBUs in 2025). He drew a passing 'standout' scouting mention. I see a priority-UDFA-caliber college vet — dependable, but without the traits to project as a draft lock.

Ceiling · 6.0

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.4) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 5.2

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.4.
