Daniel Autrey gives Eastern Illinois length, range, and a veteran DB frame
Autrey is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound redshirt junior defensive back for Eastern Illinois heading into 2026, a size-and-experience combo that tends to travel well in the defensive secondary.[1][5] He recorded 1 tackle in 2025, so the production sample is still thin, but his profile suggests a physical, versatile back who can help on coverage matchups and run support if his snaps expand.[3] If a team wants an ascending, long-limbed DB with developmental upside rather than a finished product, he’s a reasonable fit.[1][5]
