VMI’s Ayden Babich brings size, experience, and steady back-line value at safety
Ayden Babich is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound redshirt junior safety for VMI in the 2026 season, giving the Keydets a veteran body on the back end. In the 2024 season, he logged 4 tackles across the year, and his roster progression shows he has steadily added size and experience since arriving as a freshman. He projects as a reliable, assignment-sound safety rather than a headline-hunter — the kind of player who helps a defense stay organized, fits the run, and covers ground without much fuss. If a team wants toughness, maturity, and developmental upside, he’s worth a look.
