Ball-hawking Pitt DB with a nose for impact plays
Ray Vinopal showed real playmaking chops at Pitt, including 2 interceptions in the 2014 season and a career-high 11 tackles in the bowl win over Bowling Green, with a knack for showing up in high-leverage moments. He’s the kind of defensive back coaches like because he plays with awareness, physicality, and a reliable feel for where the ball is going—not just box-score flash. The downside is that his Pitt production is from the mid-2010s, so his current on-field impact can’t be verified from the available records; as a profile, though, he fits the mold of a tough, instinctive defender who can help a secondary get nastier.
