Emory Floyd brings SEC-tested size, physicality, and steady production to the secondary
Emory Floyd is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound defensive back who turned a full-time role at Appalachian State in the 2025 season into 57 tackles, six pass breakups, one interception, and All-Sun Belt honorable mention recognition. He stands out for his run support and tackling efficiency, plus the kind of outside-corner experience teams love when they want a reliable, physical DB who isn’t shy about contact. The bigger story: after limited action at South Carolina, he showed real starter-level consistency at App State, which is exactly the kind of trajectory that makes a coach lean in.
