Tommy McCormick is Idaho’s tough, turnover-making veteran safety with NFL upside
In the 2024 season, Tommy McCormick was a do-it-all defensive back for Idaho, finishing with 81 tackles, 3 interceptions, 4 passes defended and a pick-six while serving as a steady back-end leader for one of the Big Sky’s better defenses. His calling card is versatility and football IQ: he’s a physical boundary safety who plays downhill in the box, but he also has the ball skills to flip a game. Add in three-time All-Big Sky recognition, Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors, and a reputation as a hard-hitting, high-character captain, and he looks like the kind of player coaches trust fast.
