Auburn lands a rangy ball-hawking safety in Damonte Tabb
Damonte Tabb looks like a classic Auburn-style defensive back: a long, physical safety with true takeaway juice, finishing his 2025 senior season at Thompson with 78 tackles, 11 interceptions, and 11 pass breakups while helping the Warriors win a 7A state title. He’s the kind of prospect who changes field position, brings length at 6-foot-3 and around 195 pounds, and fits a defense that values versatility and toughness; the lone knock is that he’s still a developing, not-yet-fully-ranked prospect, so the ceiling is more projection than polished certainty.
