Versatile UTSA defensive back with athlete pedigree and long-term upside
Carrington Kearney arrived at UTSA as a 5-11, 180-pound athlete with a quarterback background, and that versatility still gives him a different lens than a typical safety prospect. In his recruiting profile, he showed decent athletic testing for the role, including a 4.74 forty and a 29.2-inch vertical, which suggests functional burst more than pure track speed. The key appeal is his multi-sport, multi-role feel: he has the toughness and football IQ to handle traffic, plus the adaptability coaches love when building special teams and depth pieces. If you want a developmental defender with some sneaky upside, he’s worth a look.
