Mercyhurst’s steady, tackle-first DB with real stop-the-run juice
In the 2024 season, Anthony Mackey made 10 appearances and posted 42 tackles, 23 solo, plus a tackle for loss, a fumble recovery, and three pass breakups; in 2023, he logged 60 tackles in 10 games, showing he’s a high-activity, reliable back-end defender who shows up fast and finishes plays. Mercyhurst’s own notes and game coverage point to him as a tone-setting safety/DB type who can anchor the defense with production and physicality, while his listed 6-0, 200-pound frame suggests he can handle contact and play with confidence. If your team wants a durable, assignment-sound defensive back who brings effort, toughness, and steady tackling, Mackey is absolutely worth a look.
