Aydan West is a physical, ascending corner with real starting upside for Michigan State
West’s 2025 freshman season at Michigan State showed he could hold up in real Big Ten action: he played in all 12 games, made 19 tackles, logged 380 defensive snaps, and earned four starts at cornerback. His profile is built on speed and burst, with EA Sports ratings showing elite acceleration and solid zone/man coverage tools, which fits a DB who can close quickly and play with range. The knock is polish—he did get beat by better receivers at times—but the early workload and growing role suggest a tough, athletic fit for a defense that values upside and competitiveness.
