Cyler Christmas flashes ball skills and playmaking upside in SEMO’s secondary
Cyler Christmas is an emerging Southeast Missouri State safety who showed early disruption ability in 2023, finishing his freshman season with 13 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble in eight games. He stands out as a high-motor defender with evident instincts for the ball, which makes him more than just a tackle collector. The limited sample suggests real upside if he continues to add consistency, range, and physicality, and he looks like a fit for a staff that values competitive, turnover-capable defensive backs.
