Darrell Ishman brings long-frame upside and early-game experience to UNC’s cornerback room
In the 2025 season, Darrell Ishman appeared in four games as a freshman for Northern Colorado, giving the Bears a 6-2, 185-pound corner with developmental upside and real length on the outside. His high school résumé hints at ball skills and physicality, with 82 tackles, seven interceptions, and 17 pass breakups, which is exactly the kind of all-around profile that can translate into a sticky, competitive cover man. He looks like a good fit if a team wants a young defender with size, toughness, and room to keep ascending rather than a finished product.
