David Coffey Emerging as Iowa State’s Smart, Versatile Secondary Leader
In the 2025 season, David Coffey logged 11 tackles and 2 pass breakups in nine games, then earned even bigger trust entering 2026 as a team captain for Iowa State[2][3][14][15]. Coaches praise him as a fast learner with high football IQ, strong spacing awareness, and the versatility to move between slot and outside corner, while reports also describe him as long, athletic, and a reliable tackler[9][12]. That combination makes him a good fit if you want a dependable DB who can handle multiple roles and bring steady, no-drama leadership to the back end[14][15].
