Marist’s David LaFears Brings Size, Smarts, and Academic Consistency to the Secondary
David LaFears is a 6-foot, 205-pound safety for Marist who earned CSC Academic All-District honors and repeated a Pioneer Football League Academic Honor Roll nod, signaling the kind of disciplined, reliable teammate coaches trust. In the 2024 season, Marist listed him as a redshirt junior, and his profile suggests a high-IQ defensive back whose value goes beyond splashy counting stats: steady preparation, positional flexibility, and the sort of maturity that fits a culture-first locker room. He looks like a strong fit for teams that want a physical, dependable safety who can handle the mental side of the game as well as the hits.
