One of the smartest defenders in the Houston area, Santana-Diaz plays with his eyes as much as his feet. He reads and diagnoses quarterbacks well, breaks on routes aggressively, and is not afraid to stick his nose in against the run. He is a wrap up tackler who rarely whiffs, he has fluid hips that enable him to make plays on the ball in the passing game and his ability to create turnovers allows him to be a playmaker defensively. The Colorado State commit has all the tools that college coaches covet in elite safeties.
