Antonio Cotman Jr. brings size, speed, and upside to Charlotte’s secondary
Cotman is a 6-foot-2 Charlotte defensive back whose profile is built on athletic traits that translate well to coverage and run support: EA’s College Football 26 launch ratings list him with **86 speed**, **89 acceleration**, **87 jumping**, and solid **69 overall** value, while also grading him above average in **tackling**, **pursuit**, and both **man** and **zone coverage**. He logged limited game action at Virginia Tech in 2023, primarily on special teams, and then saw minimal defensive production at Charlotte in 2024, so the appeal is more about upside than proven volume.
