Kabongo brings downhill tackling and early-impact production to Oklahoma State’s secondary
David Kabongo is a **physical, ascending safety** who flashed real early value for Oklahoma State in 2024, finishing with **20 tackles, 17 solo stops, and a sack** across seven games as a true freshman[1][4]. He stood out for his consistency—multiple tackles in six of seven appearances—and for impact moments like the sack of Shedeur Sanders and a heavy hit on Cam Skattebo[4]. Reports also note he added size and explosiveness entering 2025, suggesting a player whose game is still growing, which makes him appealing for teams wanting a tough, active run-support defender with upside[10].
