Ball-Hawking Virginia DB with Playmaking Upside

Platt has already shown he can change games: in the 2025 season for Virginia, he recorded an interception, a forced fumble, a pass breakup, and a 61-yard fumble return touchdown, while earlier in his career he started for Army and picked off two passes in 2024. He stands out for his instincts, coverage production, and above-average athletic profile, with EA College Football 26 listing him at 87 speed, 89 acceleration, and 83 zone coverage. The main question is consistency in tackling and run support, but his confidence, explosiveness, and turnover-making ability make him a strong fit for teams that value aggressive, scheme-versatile defensive backs.
