Young SMU safety with real upside and a tackling-first profile
Ka'Davion Dotson-Walker is a freshman safety for SMU who entered college as a consensus three-star prospect and was a two-time Texas 6A state champion at Duncanville, where he totaled 72 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 5 pass breakups, 1 interception, and 1 fumble recovery in his senior season[11]. In 2025, he appeared in 3 games and recorded 3 tackles for the Mustangs[1][10]. The fit? He looks like a developing depth piece with physicality, experience in winning programs, and some instinctive back-end value—more “future contributor” than instant stat-sheet fireworks right now[11].
