a scrappy South Dakota DB with a special-teams edge
Brandon Colpitts has shown up as a depth-piece defensive back for South Dakota, with 10 tackles in the 2016 season and a noticeable impact on special teams, including a forced fumble[1][3]. The stat line is modest, but the differentiator is clear: he brings physical, high-effort play and value beyond pure coverage numbers, which is exactly the kind of profile coaches like for role flexibility and grit[1][3].
