Ball-Hawking DB with Real Playmaking Juice
Nicholas Kilpatrick enters Western Carolina as a **big-play defensive back** who made his name as a takeaway machine at Raines, with **2 interceptions in 2022** and **6 more in 2023**, plus multiple defensive scores and a punt return touchdown[1]. That production suggests strong anticipation, aggressive ball skills, and a knack for turning turnovers into points—traits that matter for a defense looking for disruptive, momentum-changing playmakers[1].
