Akin Adigun brings size, range, and early special-teams value to Eastern Illinois
Adigun, a **6'3", 185-pound safety** for Eastern Illinois, flashed in 2024 as a redshirt freshman by appearing in 11 games and recording four tackles, mostly while contributing on special teams and in reserve defensive-back snaps.[1][7] His profile stands out for length, athletic upside, and a proven high-school résumé as a first-team all-district safety with 67 tackles, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles as a senior.[7] He looks like a developmental defensive back who can add value in the kicking game now and grow into a bigger coverage role if his tackling consistency and game reps keep trending up.[1][7]
