Scouting Report

July 29, 2026

Dillon Tatum #1

Miami (OH) · SAF · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Farmington Hills, Mich. · West Bloomfield

5-11 · 210 lbs

4.2

Long Shot

Floor 3.4 · Ceiling 4.5

#3097 overall · #271 SAF of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Pedigree has not become production: 17 tackles and one pass breakup at Northwestern in 2025, a fourth school in four years, and omitted from all four Athlon teams on a roster that landed 19 selections. Disciplined down.

Ceiling · 4.5

Projected 2026 starter (DB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · MAC draft-temper.

Floor · 3.4

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.8.

Pedigree

4★ recruit · Natl #279 · Pos #12 · State #5

Path: Michigan State → Northwestern → Miami (OH)
