Coastal Carolina's Under-the-Radar Safety with Pro Potential
Tre Douglas III, a former four-star ESPN recruit out of high school, has been a reliable reserve safety for Coastal Carolina, logging 11 games with two tackles as a Vanderbilt sophomore in 2019 before transferring and appearing in one game in 2021; at 6'2" with a 4.6 40-yard dash, his athleticism shines in special teams and spot defensive duty, bringing lockdown coverage skills and physicality that differentiate him from typical back-end DBs. No major injury history, high-motor intensity, and untapped starter upside make him a sneaky-good fit for teams needing versatile secondary depth—watch for a breakout in 2025.
