Drew Cofield is already a ball-hawking defensive back on the rise at UC Davis
In the 2025 season, the UC Davis freshman DB Drew Cofield turned heads by starting every game, finishing with 32+ tackles, two interceptions, and a team-best nine passes defended, which is exactly the kind of disruptive, sticky coverage profile coaches love. He was named an All-Big Sky Second Teamer and FCS Football Central Freshman All-American, and HERO Sports ranked him among the top 15 returning defensive backs for 2026. The fit? He looks like a high-motor, instinctive, immediate-impact defender with real playmaking upside—already more than just a “future guy.”
