A rangy, two-sport defensive back still developing into a college safety
Aden Tagaloa-Nelson brings a **6-1, 200-pound** safety frame, documented high school production as both a receiver and defender, and a background as a multi-sport athlete that suggests coordination and competitiveness. At West Virginia, he redshirted and logged only limited game action in 2024, so the appeal is still largely projection: he looks like a physical, versatile DB with upside rather than a finished product. That makes him an intriguing fit for a program that values size, special-teams potential, and developmental defensive backs.[3][10]
