A three-year Duke starter who peaked at exactly the right time, a 71-tackle, four-interception 2024 that reads like a rangy, ball-hawking free safety finding his form, now tasked with replacing real production at Ohio State's back end. The takeaway history is the calling card: he plays downhill against the run, closes on throws over the middle, and the four picks show a nose for the ball rather than a fluke. However, the projection is a priority-UDFA-to-Day-3 range because the profile is production over premium traits, and the leap to Ohio State's defense will test whether the coverage range holds against Big Ten speed. I want to see the takeaways carry over rather than the tackle numbers being the whole story. Grade it as a productive, experienced safety with a real starting role and a proven takeaway streak to build on.
