Sage Ryan brings steady veteran range to Ole Miss's back end
In the 2025 season at Ole Miss, Sage Ryan played as a dependable senior safety who logged 26 tackles, 4 pass breakups, and 0.5 sacks, with ESPN and Ole Miss listing him as an active senior presence in the secondary[2][10]. His value goes beyond the stat sheet: at 6-foot, 200 pounds, he offers experienced coverage range, positional versatility, and a history of playmaking dating back to his LSU years, when he posted 43 tackles, 4 pass breakups, 1 sack, 3 forced fumbles, and an interception in the 2022 season[6]. He looks like the kind of seasoned, low-drama back-end fit coaches trust when they want a safety who can communicate, tackle, and keep the defense organized[10][13].
