Depth-piece safety with special-teams upside and Louisiana pedigree
In the 2024 season, Austin Bascom appeared in one game for Southern Utah after seeing action in three games in 2023, which suggests a developing role rather than a finished product[1]. He brings a good frame for the position at 6'0" and 205 pounds, and his prep résumé stands out: 5A Louisiana all-state, two-time 5A all-district, and even a MaxPreps national player of the week nod[1][7]. The fit here is a patient, physical defensive back with upside if he keeps climbing the depth chart—more project than headline machine, but one with real special-teams and development appeal[1][7].
