Cornell safety Nomar Tejada brings size, steady tackling, and upside
In the 2024 season, Cornell safety Nomar Tejada appeared in 10 games and finished with seven total tackles, showing a reliable, rotational defender who can hold his own in the secondary[1][2]. At 6-foot-1 and 197 pounds, he has the frame recruiters like for a safety, and Cornell lists him as a senior in 2026, suggesting valuable experience and development upside[1][11]. He looks like a fit for teams that want a physical, assignment-sound defensive back who adds depth more than flash—steady, durable, and the kind of guy coaches trust when the game gets a little spicy[1][11].
