South Alabama’s young safety with a two-way playmaking background
David Houston III is a 6-foot, 182-pound sophomore safety at South Alabama who brings defensive range plus the toughness of a former high-school two-way standout; at McCallum High, he posted seven interceptions and a pick-six on defense while also rushing for 1,500 yards and 28 touchdowns on offense. South Alabama lists him as an active roster player after two seasons at Butler CC, where he appeared in 15 games and made 40 total tackles in 2024, so he profiles as a versatile, instinctive athlete with upside rather than a finished product.
