Physical, downhill safety who brings tone-setting toughness
In the 2023 season, Kitan Oladapo was a production monster for Oregon State, finishing with 74 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 interceptions, 10 pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery[1][3]. The big selling point is his size-and-strength combo at defensive back, plus a reputation for being aggressive in run support and comfortable playing in traffic[5][9]. He’s best as a physical box defender and versatile safety fit; the knock has been tighter coverage and change-of-direction quickness in space[6][9].
