Donald Quist brings size, versatility, and special-teams value to Coastal Carolina
Quist is a redshirt freshman nickelback at Coastal Carolina in 2026, listed at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, which gives him rare length for a DB and a physical edge in the box and in coverage[1][7]. He appeared in four games in 2025 and preserved his eligibility, with ESPN crediting him for 2 solo tackles that season[10][12]. His background suggests a versatile, aggressive defender who can play nickel, safety, and support the run; he arrived after a solid Allen High School career and a stint at Missouri State[4][13].
