Ball-hawking UCLA safety with a veteran instinct for the big play
Andrew Abbott’s UCLA profile is built around range, quickness, and cover ability, with the Bruins describing him as a safety/corner who also contributed on special teams. In 2011, he started all 14 games, moved between corner and safety, and was tied for fourth in the Pac-12 in interceptions, earning honorable mention all-conference recognition; UCLA also noted he had 7 career interceptions and 5.0 career tackles for loss by 2012. The appeal is clear: he brings versatility, playmaking, and a knack for reading quarterbacks, making him the kind of defensive back who can fit a flexible secondary and punch above his size with instincts and confidence.
