Ball-Hawking Arizona State DB with NFL-Level Upside
Keith Abney II flashed as one of Arizona State’s most productive defensive backs in the 2025 season, posting 44 tackles, 12 passes defended, 2 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles while showing a knack for arriving at the ball with timing and confidence. He’s valued for his twitch, coverage awareness, and versatility in both man and zone looks, though evaluators note his lighter frame can be tested by bigger receivers. That blend of playmaking, discipline, and pro-level upside made him a 2026 NFL Draft pick, so yes—this is the kind of DB a team can trust to compete early and grow fast.
