Samford’s former standout safety Tartt still profiles as a physical, veteran defensive back
Jaquiski Tartt is a high-IQ, hard-hitting safety whose calling card is physical run support and veteran positioning, with a résumé that includes being a 2015 second-round NFL draft pick out of Samford and multiple NFL stops. He’s the kind of defender who can elevate a secondary with toughness, communication, and downhill range rather than flashy ball-production alone. The main question for any team is durability and current availability, but when healthy, he brings proven experience, strong tackling presence, and a dependable tone-setter mentality that fits a defense looking for leadership and edge.
