Versatile Safety With Power-5-Grade Upside
Makhi Connor is a 2023 Campbell defensive back who was rated a consensus 3-star prospect and a top-55 safety nationally in his class, a strong sign of real two-way defensive value and upside[1]. At 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, he’s been described as a multi-role defender who can play true safety or nickel, which makes him a useful fit for flexible, matchup-driven defenses[1]. He’s also notable for having drawn Power-5 interest, suggesting his ceiling is higher than a typical small-school secondary add[1].
