steady, productive Vanderbilt safety with proven tackle production
Trice is best known as a reliable, high-volume defender who has consistently filled the stat sheet at Vanderbilt, including 82 total tackles in 2009 after seasons of 22, 18 and 8 tackles, which points to experience and ball awareness rather than flash. He fits best as a sturdy, assignment-sound safety/linebacker type who can help stabilize the middle of a defense, make open-field stops, and add depth with some playmaking upside from past interception and sack production. The main draw is dependability: he looks like a plug-and-play piece for a team that values toughness, consistency, and clean execution.
