Tyler Owens

Big-framed safety prospect who possesses outstanding athleticism that has been proven in a track environment. Terrific size with frame potential that could translate to safety or even outside linebacker, depending on development. Posted multiple sub-11.00-second 100-meter times, plus a 45-foot, 5-inch triple jump. High-ceiling prospect given outstanding combination of physical tools. Closes fast on the ball and arrives with a purpose. Elite top-end speed relative to projected position. Showed noticeable improvement on tape from junior to senior season. Raw from a technical standpoint and still honing defensive back-specific craft. Has improved tackling consistency but can continue to clean up technique. Occasionally hunts unnecessarily for the big hit. Will need to improve lateral fluidity and hip-flipping ability to cover receivers at the next level. Size and elite athleticism translate to multiple back-seven spots at the high-major level. Potential to project to NFL draft's early rounds.
