Korey Hernandez brings veteran DB depth and proven ball skills to Eastern Michigan
Korey Hernandez is a graduate-student defensive back for Eastern Michigan with a track record of contributing in the secondary and producing at the college level, including 2022 action in eight games with seven solo tackles and two assists, plus an Academic All-MAC nod.[1] ESPN’s profile lists career production of 49 solo tackles, one forced fumble, one interception, and six pass breakups, while his high-school résumé showed impact plays and recognition as a disruptive defensive back.[6][7] The upside is experience, versatility, and playmaking instincts; the concern is that his profile also carries off-field volatility from the widely reported 2023 South Alabama incident, which teams will weigh heavily in any fit decision.[2]
