Dayton’s versatile young defensive back with special-teams juice
McCullough entered Dayton as a 2024 freshman safety and was on the PFL Academic Honor Roll, but the big takeaway is his versatility: Dayton has already used him in a quarterback-reverse pass package, hinting at real football IQ and playmaking instincts. His background as a multi-sport, team-captain type at Penn suggests competitiveness and coachability, not just raw athleticism. He’s the kind of roster piece who can grow into value fast if you want energy, flexibility, and a high-motor DB with upside rather than a finished product.
