DJ VanHook brings turnover-making playmaking to Northern Arizona's secondary
DJ VanHook projects as a high-impact **ball-hawk cornerback** for Northern Arizona, after earning second-team All-Big Sky honors in 2024 with **3 interceptions, 8 pass breakups, 31 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks**; he also delivered the game-winning interception against Idaho State and opened his NAU tenure with immediate production. [3] His value goes beyond box-score stats: he has a history of creating disruption at multiple levels of the field, showing special-teams utility and the competitive edge of a former team captain, making him a strong fit for a defense that wants a confident, playmaking CB who can change games.
