Northern Colorado’s tackling-first defensive back with proven production
Taylor Risner is a physical, high-activity DB whose calling card has long been tackling reliability and run support. In the 2015 season, Northern Colorado said he was just the third Division I player in program history to reach 100 tackles in a season, and he led the team in tackles in seven of 10 games, showing a nose for the ball and steady intensity. That kind of production screams trust and toughness, even if there isn’t much recent public stat detail available here. If you want a tone-setter in the secondary who plays with edge, Risner looks like a fit.
