6'1" Senior CB with Elite Size and 3 Career INTs for Texas Tech

Dontae Balfour is a 6'1", 185-lb senior cornerback for the Texas Tech Red Raiders who brings rare size for the position, a trait that makes him a lockdown fit for teams needing a physical boundary defender. Over five college seasons (Charlotte and Texas Tech), he has recorded 88 solo tackles, 3 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovery, showcasing consistent ball-hawking ability and reliability in coverage [1][2]. His 83 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26 reflects his polished skills, while his 2025 stats show active playmaking with 1 pass broken up in just 2 games [3][4]. Balfour’s intensity and veteran presence (born 2002) mean he’s injury-resilient and ready to lead a secondary immediately.
