Scouting Verdict

Malik Hartford carries a strong recruiting pedigree (top-160, Ohio State) but barely played in Columbus — 10 tackles in 2023, then dwindling to 2 in 2025. Talent flashes exist but there's no real body of work, and he's projected as a backup safety. Pedigree without production caps this at low UDFA.
