Top 5 safeties in college football for 2018

Miami v Florida State
Poinsettia Bowl - BYU v Wyoming

#3. Andrew Wingard, Wyoming

This guy is a maniac on the football field and I love it. Wingard presents muscular frame at six feet, 210 pounds and is that hybrid defensive back, who can line up as the single-high safety on one snap, drop down into the box and cover backs the next and then finally comes off the slot on a blitz. The 2017 All-Mountain West selection in 2017 attacks upfield like crazy and led the country in run stops in 2017 among DBs.

In his three-year career with the Cowboys, Wingard has amassed 367 total tackles, with 22.5 of them going for less and he has forced five fumbles. He has experience covering tight-ends and slot receivers, intercepting a career-high five passes last season and comes in with tremendous pursuit as a blitzer. The only thing Wingard lacks is elite top-end speed, but with how ferocious he is at chasing after people, it doesn’t really show up.
