veteran ball-hawk and tone-setter in Vanderbilt’s secondary
LaDarius Wiley’s Vanderbilt profile is built on reliability, physicality, and playmaking: in the 2018 season he finished with 83 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, and four forced fumbles, while also drawing preseason SEC attention as a Third Team All-SEC defense pick. He’s the kind of DB who shows up in big moments, plays with edge, and brings leadership plus academic maturity to the room. If a team wants a safety who can tackle, create turnovers, and steady a defense, he fits the bill.
