Ball-hawking, multi-phase safety who once turned games with turnovers
In the 2017 season at Northwestern, Kyle Queiro started all 13 games at safety and led the Wildcats in interceptions with 5, adding 60 tackles, 9 pass breakups, and 5.5 tackles for loss—a rare blend of coverage instincts and run support. His best trait was playmaking: he could read quarterbacks, close quickly, and affect games without needing a huge tackle count. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, he also brought size and versatility, with reports noting he could play both safety spots and even project as a hybrid defender.
