Chase Pinkston brings playmaking juice to Memphis’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Chase Pinkston flashed as a ballhawk for Memphis, playing in nine games and producing 26 tackles, 3 interceptions, and a fumble recovery. At 6-foot-0, 195 pounds, he brings a physical DB frame and enough range to impact both coverage and run support, with Memphis listing him as a junior for 2026 after a redshirt year. His appeal is the combo platter: size, takeaway ability, and developmental upside. If you want a defensive back who can tilt field position and still has room to grow, he’s a smart bet.
