playmaker DB with NFL-level ball skills and downhill edge
In the 2024 season, Reuben Lowery III was a tone-setting Chattanooga defensive back who finished second on the Mocs with 62 tackles, added 7.5 tackles for loss, and picked off two passes, including a touchdown return—classic “do-it-all” production from the secondary[3][8]. He left Chattanooga with 166 career tackles, 19.0 tackles for loss, 15 passes defended, three interceptions, and two pick-sixes, which tells you he was more than a coverage guy: he attacked gaps, made open-field stops, and punished mistakes[3][8]. Evaluators also saw him as an athletic tester with quick-change ability, which helps explain why he projected as a disruptive fit for aggressive, ball-hawking defenses[2].
