Ball-hawk DB with splash-play juice for Morehead State

Richard Sweeney III looks like a physical, opportunistic defensive back who brings real playmaking value to Morehead State: in 2024, he played in all 12 games and posted 30 tackles, 2 interceptions, 10 pass deflections, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery, plus a memorable 85-yard defensive two-point return against Montana[1][11]. That profile screams “impact defender” rather than stat-padding volume guy—he’s active in coverage, triggers quickly on the ball, and already has shown he can flip a game with one snap[9]. For a team needing a competitive, instinctive DB with special-teams upside and a knack for splash plays, he’s a legitimate fit[1][12].
