Young Alabama DB with early-game production and steady upside
Ivan Taylor entered Alabama as a 2025 freshman defensive back and immediately logged real playing time, finishing the 2025 season with 14 total tackles and a pass breakup in 15 games. His calling card is versatility and early trust from the staff: Alabama listed him as a DB, while EA Sports rated him an 82 overall at strong safety, hinting at a player who can handle multiple roles in the secondary. For a team, he looks like a high-floor, developmental defensive back with freshman poise and enough size to fit a physical scheme.
