Drew Minich is a rising, every-down safety with a nose for the football
In the 2026 season, Fordham’s Drew Minich enters as a junior DB who started all 12 games at strong safety as a sophomore and produced 72 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 pass breakups, and 1 interception—rare production for a defensive back. He’s the kind of tone-setting defender coaches love: physical, assignment-sound, and willing to fill the alley, while still flashing playmaking upside. If you want a reliable back-end enforcer who can also impact the run game, he’s absolutely worth a look.
