Top 5 safeties in college football for 2018

Miami v Florida State
North Carolina State v Boston College

#2. Lukas Denis, Boston College

BC has put out a couple of excellent safety prospects in recent years when you look at Justin Simmons and John Johnson, but this young man will be the best among them. Denis started his collegiate career on the outside but moved to free safety in 2016. He had a ridiculous junior season, in which he intercepted seven passes and deflected another ten. He also recorded 83 tackles and forced two fumbles.

The Eagles’ DB is an extremely fluid athlete in space, who wants to keep his shoulders parallel and be in a position to break different ways for as long as possible. He lines up in the slot and has experience covering one half of the field, but Denis is his best as that rangy centerfielder with exceptionally well-coordinated feet. Either he gets his hands on the ball in the air or he punches through the ball when setting his tackles. Denis doesn’t show a lack of interest to tackle people, but at 185 pounds he simply lacks some size to bring down bigger bodies.
