A long, versatile safety who plays downhill and brings real SEC production
In the 2022 season, Trey Dean III delivered 81 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 4 passes defended, and 2 fumble recoveries for Florida, capping a career built on physicality, versatility, and smart run support[1][6]. He is appealing if you want a safety with size, length, and box-to-deep flexibility—scouts praised his instincts versus the run, ability to close quickly, and special-teams value, while also noting he can be more productive as a tackler than a true ballhawk[12].
