Malcom DeWalt IV brings NFL-caliber speed and ball skills to Akron's secondary
DeWalt's 2025 Akron season showed a perimeter corner with real playmaking juice: he posted 58 tackles, 2 interceptions, 8 pass breakups and a forced fumble, while later pro-day reports highlighted elite speed (4.38 40) and strong explosiveness for his size. He also played through a 2020 high-school collarbone fracture and has steadily climbed from junior college to a full-time defensive role, which suggests toughness and development upside. He looks like a fit for teams that value length, recovery speed, and competitive coverage on the outside.
