Scouting Notes

Third stop, first breakout. Little signed with Alabama as a top-110 recruit, found snaps scarce, and finally cashed the pedigree in at Florida State in 2025: 76 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles across 12 games. Rather than ride that season into the draft, he put the NFL off and transferred to Ohio State, walking into a starting-safety competition with the frame (6-0, 198), the four-star bloodlines and the fresh ball-production tape to win it. He was standing out early in spring before an injury cost him the spring game. However, the entire case rests on exactly one good season at his third school — the two years before it produced 17 total tackles — and evaluators will want the 2025 version confirmed against Big Ten schedules before calling it real. Repeat it and he plays into late-round territory; today the projection is a priority-UDFA-to-fringe-draftable safety in the 2027 class.
