rising ODU safety with special-teams grit and steady tackling
Daevon Iles has been a reliable, physical piece for Old Dominion, appearing in 11 games in 2024 and finishing with 14 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 2 pass breakups while also logging five special-teams tackles. He looks like a classic “coach’s guy” — active, assignment-sound, and willing to do the dirty work — and his 2025 profile shows that role expanding, with 29 total tackles and at least one tackle for loss reported in stat aggregators. The differentiator is his versatility and effort level more than flash; if you want a safety who brings toughness, special-teams value, and dependable depth, he fits the bill.
