I evaluated Tate awhile back, so I was excited to dive into his tape from this past season. He suffered a broken collarbone halfway through the season, but his film was still full of good stuff. Coming up from the safety position, Tate understands pursuit angles and leverage better than most. While he doesn’t have the most fluid backpedal, he is still able to flip his hips and run with his receiver. His closing speed is definitely above average. I still have him projected as a safety prospect for the next level.

This is a kid who seemed to have a pretty special season in 2024, and displayed his versatility in the process. Tate showed the ability to be a cover guy who can stick with receivers and play the ball. He is good for PBUs and interceptions at any time. He also has great closing speed, takes good angles and can deliver some devastating hits. He can play physical in the box and be a force in the run game as well as a ballhawk on the back end. I’ll be keeping my eye on what kinds of strides he makes in his game this season.

I don’t have a whole lot of film to go off of, but it seems like Kaelin should be on my radar at the very least.

His statline is amazing, especially for a 2027 prospect. In a few weeks, I’d love to see a mid-season highlight tape.

The one play that I can see shows a phenomenal hit-stick. It seems like Kaelin came down from his DB/S position to lay the wood on an unsuspecting receiver. If he can hit like that and have those stats, I’d expect Kaelin to be a good athlete and overall a future college prospect.
