Max Franco brings steady depth and special-teams value to Valparaiso’s secondary
Max Franco is a **returning, multi-year defensive back** for Valparaiso who has consistently appeared in games since 2022, with 12 appearances that year and 11 each in 2023 and 2024, plus limited kick-return work in 2022. ESPN and Valpo’s roster page show him as an active DB, but published stat lines are sparse, which usually points to a role built more on **reliability, practice value, and depth** than flashy box-score production. If you want a player who can help stabilize the back end and contribute on special teams, he fits that profile.
