Tim Cain Tim Cain 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Northern | 2026 State MD , a rising defensive back in the 2025 class, is beginning to draw serious attention on the recruiting trail. Currently holding four Division I offers, from Howard University, Delaware State, Navy, and Bowie State. Cain is trending heavily among FCS programs, with Navy standing out as his first FBS offer.

Cain is a physical, instinctive corner with the tools to thrive in man-to-man coverage. He plays with a natural feel for positioning, consistently staying in the receiver’s hip pocket through the route. His fluid hips and short-area quickness allow him to mirror receivers with precision, while his closing speed and timing make him a threat to disrupt passing lanes.

In run support, Cain flashes strong form tackling and shows no hesitation engaging on the perimeter. His ability to diagnose plays and finish tackles in space adds to his all-around value in the secondary.

With a senior season still ahead, Cain is poised to attract more interest as programs continue to prioritize versatile, high-IQ defenders in the back end. If he continues to develop, don’t be surprised to see his offer list expand significantly.
