Tae Daley brings veteran safety instincts and SEC/ACC-tested toughness to Virginia Tech
Tae Daley is a seasoned, physical defensive back who showed real production at Virginia Tech in the 2021 season, when he played all 13 games, made 10 starts, and finished with 73 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and a forced fumble. His value is less about flashy ball production and more about reliability, downhill urgency, and a willingness to do the dirty work in run support. For a team needing a tone-setting safety with experience and grit, he’s the kind of steady, versatile defender who can raise the floor of a secondary.
