Battle-Tested Triple-Transfer DB Poised for ECU Breakout in 2026
Ladarian Paulk, a gritty 5-11 senior safety for East Carolina, brings JUCO-honed tackling prowess (career 42 tackles, 29 solo) and resilience from stints at Memphis (28 tackles in 2022), FIU (2023), and a 2025 ECU debut with 8 stops plus a forced fumble. His differentiator? Relentless intensity in run support and battle-tested versatility across programs—ideal for teams needing a sure-handed, physical DB who thrives in high-pressure spots without injury red flags. A 2026 draft prospect worth watching for depth chart reliability.
