William & Mary's Tackling Safety from 2011 Era
Jake O'Connor, a safety for the William & Mary Tribe in 2011, delivered a solid senior campaign with 42 tackles across 10 games and 7 starts, showcasing his versatility as a two-year varsity letterwinner from high school days as both a running back and defensive back. His All-Colonial District honors highlight his explosive intensity and football IQ, making him a reliable, hard-nosed defender who could be a great fit for teams seeking gritty, multi-positional secondary depth—though post-2011 performance data is unavailable, his proven tackle production screams undervalued gem.
