Veteran Ball State safety brings size, production, and turnover juice
Martez Hester profiles as a long, physical safety at 6-3 and 201 pounds who has shown real playmaking instincts for Ball State. In the 2016 season, he logged 72 tackles, an interception that helped spark a touchdown, and a fumble recovery that led to another score, which screams “impact defender,” not just stat collector. The eye-catcher here is his combination of experience, length, and knack for finishing drives with momentum-changing plays—good traits if a team wants a reliable back-end enforcer with special-teams-style toughness and veteran presence.
