Carolina Recruits Media Day: DB Review Part 2

Part 2 of the defensive back review features another talented group of prospects with plenty of traits worth tracking this fall. This group showed a good mixture of length, physicality, versatility, instincts, and overall athletic upside. Several have the skill set to play multiple positions in the secondary, while others could eventually grow into different defensive roles at the next level. With experienced upperclassmen and high-upside underclassmen represented, there are several names in this group that college coaches should have on their radar as the 2026 season gets underway.    [player_tooltip player_id='2267068' first='Cameron' last='Liscano'] is a young defensive back at Jack Britt who is looking to make a big impact at the varsity level this season. The 2029 prospect brings natural ball-hawking ability to the secondary and shows good instincts when the football is in the air. He has the ability to read the quarterback, put himself in position to make plays, and create turnovers on the back end. As he continues to develop physically and gain varsity experience, Liscano is a young name with plenty of upside to keep an eye on in the Buccaneers' secondary.     [player_tooltip player_id='2267051' first='Brian' last='Randolph Jr']. is coming off a phenomenal JV season where he established himself as a true playmaker in the secondary. Randolph recorded several interceptions, consistently showing his ability to read the quarterback, track the football, and capitalize when opportunities came his way. Now entering his true sophomore season, the 2029 defensive back will look to carry that production to the varsity level. His ball skills and natural playmaking instincts make him an intriguing young prospect to track as his role continues to grow.     [player_tooltip player_id='2267052' first='Amare' last='Floyd'] returns as a senior presence in the Jack Britt secondary and will be counted on to take another step as both a player and leader this season. He brings versatility against both the run and pass, showing a willingness to come downhill, be physical, and make tackles in space while also handling his responsibilities in coverage. With a young group around him, Floyd's experience and communication will be especially important. Look for him to become a more vocal leader on the back end and set the tone for the Buccaneers' secondary.     [player_tooltip player_id='2267053' first='Jamir' last='Stevenson'] is one of the key pieces of a senior-led secondary at Overhills entering the 2026 season. Stevenson brings valuable experience to the back end and has high expectations for himself in his final high school campaign. He plays with confidence, understands his responsibilities in coverage, and has the opportunity to become one of the leaders of the Jaguars' defense. With plenty of experience around him, look for Stevenson to take on a bigger role, create more plays on the football, and help set the standard for the Overhills secondary.     [player_tooltip player_id='2267054' first='Damir' last='Stevenson'] is the type of senior every defense needs—a selfless player whose main focus is winning. Stevenson brings valuable versatility to the Overhills secondary with the ability to play on the back end or move down into the box. He is physical against the run and can be used creatively as a blitzer, where his downhill mentality allows him to pressure the quarterback and disrupt plays in the backfield. His willingness to do whatever is asked of him gives the Jaguars a versatile defensive piece they can move around based on the matchup.     [player_tooltip player_id='1531724' first='Josiah' last='Bedford'] is one of the top defensive backs in the region and the leader of a veteran Overhills secondary. The senior checks a lot of the boxes you look for at the position—speed, quickness, strength, experience, and natural playmaking ability. Bedford can cover ground quickly, stay competitive in coverage, and has the ball skills to turn opportunities into turnovers. Beyond the physical tools, his leadership and experience stand out. With a talented group around him, Bedford has a chance to put together a big senior season and establish himself as a legitimate college prospect in the secondary.
