Daemon Fagan brings SEC-caliber size and four-star upside to Idaho’s secondary
In 2026, Daemon Fagan looks like a high-upside fit for Idaho at safety: he’s a 6-foot-3 former four-star DB who came out of NC State with a reputation for versatility, length, and the ability to handle multiple looks in Lee Stalker’s defense[1][3]. Idaho’s staff highlighted him as an immediate-impact add, and his high-school résumé included 78 tackles, 3 interceptions, 11 pass breakups, and 2 fumble recoveries in a senior season that screams playmaker, not passenger[1]. He’s still early in his college production arc, but the blend of size, pedigree, and range makes him a “watch this guy” defender for a roster that wants rangy, flexible secondary pieces[1][5].
