Top 5 safeties in college football for 2018

#4. Taylor Rapp, Washington

This guy has been a key-piece to the Washington defense ever since he first stepped on the field for them because of the versatility he presents. Similar to Budda Baker a couple of years, Rapp lines up all over the field for the Huskies and makes his presence felt. He is splash-hitter, who deliver big shots over the middle of the field and along the sidelines. Yet, he still wraps up on his tackles.

Rapp goes through people on his way to the ball – sometimes even from his own team. The first-team All-Pac-12 performer in 2017 has recorded five interceptions in 26 career games. He has experience running with slot receivers across the field and completely lays out to get his fingertips on balls that seem out of reach. Rapp also picked up a couple of sacks last season, where he has shown tremendous snap anticipation. However, as a deep safety I’m not a hundred percent sold on the range he presents.
