DJ Waller Jr. brings length, speed, and press-man upside to Kentucky's secondary
DJ Waller Jr. is a 6-foot-3 DB whose best traits are his size, speed, and physicality, with EA’s ratings showing strong acceleration, toughness, press coverage, and hit power. His Kentucky production has been modest but steady: he posted 13 tackles and two pass breakups in 2024 after contributing 12 tackles as a freshman at Michigan, and an injury limited his 2025 availability. That combo makes him intriguing as a high-upside, scheme-fit defensive back who can match up with bigger receivers if he stays healthy and regains rhythm.
