Ball-Hawking SDSU DB With Playmaking Flash
Ray Bass’s defining trait is playmaking: in 2006, the San Diego State safety earned Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week after a pick-six, a team-high eight solo tackles, and a performance that helped slam the door on UNLV. He stood out as a physical, high-impact defender who could change field position in one snap and punish mistakes in coverage. For a team, that translates to a DB who brings intensity, tackle production, and turnover upside—exactly the kind of player who can swing momentum on defense.
