Scouting Verdict
Rangy, ball-hawking safety at 6-2, 205 who has strung together back-to-back four-interception seasons as a third-year Indiana starter — the takeaway production that travels. Ferrell reads the quarterback, breaks on the ball and improved his coverage volume to six breakups in 2025 while staying a dependable tackler. On3 slots him a top-65 national player for 2026, and the mock spread lands him around Round 3-4. He is a high-floor, low-risk defender with real range. However, the tackle numbers are steady rather than rising and the man-coverage questions that follow bigger safeties remain, so the ceiling is a solid starter more than a star. What you want in 2026 is a third straight ball-production year to lock the profile. A proven playmaker on a Day 2/Day 3 watch, with a floor that looks like an NFL contributor.
