versatile, physical safety with NFL-tested athletic juice
Brian Cole II has been a proven multi-phase defensive back, but in the 2026 picture he’s no longer with Mississippi State, having moved on to pro football. At Mississippi State, his calling card was versatility: in the 2019 season he posted 67 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 interception, and 2 passes defended, while also contributing as a returner. He’s the kind of safety who brings length, toughness, and downhill burst—plus captain-level leadership and special-teams value. If your team wants a tone-setter who can tackle, cover ground, and help in hidden-yardage phases, he fits the bill.
