Saveon Freeman brings size, speed and injury-free upside to New Mexico State’s secondary
Freeman is a 6-foot, 185-pound junior cornerback who transferred from Northwest Mississippi CC and, after missing 2024 with injury, enters 2026 with a clean chance to carve out a role for New Mexico State. His appeal is measurable athleticism—EA rates him a 69 overall with 84 speed, 87 acceleration and 72 press—and enough coverage ability to suggest a workable outside-corner profile, while his recruiting trail and special-teams kick-return value hint at versatility. He is best viewed as a developmental, high-effort fit rather than a finished product.
