Long, physical DB with proven two-way background and steady tackle production
Baalbaky profiles as a **6-foot-2, 208-pound** sophomore defensive back who already has college game experience and a sturdy, physical build for the position.[1][2] In **2025**, he recorded **11 tackles** and **1 pass breakup**, showing dependable run support and enough coverage ability to stay on the field.[1] His standout differentiator is a versatile football background: St. Thomas lists him as an All-State receiver and safety in high school, plus a redshirt year that preserved eligibility, which suggests developmental upside rather than a finished product.[4] He looks like a good fit for teams wanting a bigger DB who tackles well, brings competitive toughness, and still has room to grow technically.[4]
