Tristan Clapp is a young NC State safety still waiting for his first stat sheet splash
Tristan Clapp is a 2026 sophomore safety at NC State from Concord, N.C., listed at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, and he enters the season as a developmental defensive back with no recorded 2026 stats yet.[2][4][5] That means the fit conversation is less about box-score production and more about upside: a local athlete with a safety build who is still early in his college career and could grow into a role if he brings range, tackling consistency, and special-teams juice.[2][7]
