Joe Drew brings size, versatility, and early-impact upside to Arkansas State’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Joe Drew appeared in 13 games for Arkansas State and finished with 26 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 2 passes defended, a strong early résumé for a young safety. The appeal is his rare frame for the position at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, plus a two-way high school background as a receiver and defensive back that shows up in his instincts and body control. He’s the kind of defender coaches like because he’s active, physical, and still developing into his ceiling — a smart fit if a team wants range with some swagger.
