A ball-hawking boundary corner whose 2025 tape reads like a highlight reel of routes jumped at the right moment. Pollock intercepted five passes and broke up seven more in his first Texas Tech season, carrying over the takeaway instincts he flashed at Mississippi State (seven breakups, a pick and a forced fumble in 2024); the pattern-reading and drive on the ball are the traits, and the production has held across two conferences and three seasons of starts. He plays with a veteran's anticipation and adds tackle value (48 stops). The honest note is that a five-interception season is often a career outlier as much as a baseline, and quarterbacks who studied that film will test whether the takeaway rate repeats, so 2026 is the confirmation year. He returned for his senior season by choice and earned Academic All-America honors along the way. Projects as a Day 2 corner and a plug-and-play starter with above-average ball skills.
