Tyler Potts brings versatile Ball State secondary production and ball skills
Tyler Potts is a sturdy, undersized-leaning defensive back at 5-10, 182 who has been trusted in Ball State’s secondary and has shown real playmaking value, including 3 interceptions, 13 pass breakups, 33 solo tackles, and 2 forced fumbles in the ESPN profile data. He stood out as one of the Cardinals’ key returning DBs after Ball State lost multiple starters to the NFL, which suggests the staff valued his reliability and maturity in a thin secondary. For a team, he fits best as a competitive, instinctive coverage defender who can finish plays and create turnovers rather than a pure size/speed specimen.[3][6]
