Makinton Dorleant brings pro-level ball skills and physicality to UNI’s secondary
Makinton Dorleant is a **5-foot-11, 182-pound defensive back** out of Northern Iowa with enough size and versatility to project as a steady fit in the secondary, and his 2015 production—**47 tackles and 6 tackles for loss**—points to a player willing to support the run and play with edge.[2][4] The key differentiator is his blend of toughness and coverage upside: he has the frame and instincts to compete as an NFL-caliber DB, not just a stat-sheet tackler, which makes him appealing for a team looking for a physical, dependable defender rather than a pure highlight player.[2][4]
