Marques Buford Jr. is Nebraska’s versatile, high-upside defensive back with NFL-style instincts
Buford is a 5'11", 190-pound junior DB for Nebraska who grades as an 84 overall in EA SPORTS College Football 26, reflecting legitimate starting-caliber value and versatility in the secondary. He stands out for his ball skills and playmaking—ESPN lists him as an active Cornhusker, and recent coverage highlights an interception against Rutgers, a good sign for a defender who can flip momentum. If you want a safety/DB who brings competitiveness, range, and turnover potential rather than just steady coverage, Buford looks like a strong fit.
