LJ Early brings proven, physical safety play to Fresno State

LJ Early’s best calling card is reliability: in Fresno State’s 2022 season, he appeared in 13 games, started 12 at safety, and finished with 40 tackles, showing he can handle a full-time role and contribute consistently in the run game. His listed size at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds suggests a compact, downhill defensive back who fits as a steady tackler and experienced communicator in the secondary. If you want a DB with game experience, toughness, and a lower-risk floor, Early looks like a solid fit.
