Tate Haynes brings veteran cornerback savvy and a physical edge to William & Mary
In the 2025 season, Tate Haynes has shown he can be a dependable, high-IQ corner for William & Mary, with a physical playing style that shows up in run support and open-field tackling. He’s listed at 6-1, 185, and his background as a former quarterback adds poise and anticipation to his coverage game. He also has proven production at the Power Five level earlier in his career, which makes him a credible plug-in for a defense that wants experience, versatility, and toughness rather than just raw athletic upside.
