Southland-impact safety with nose-for-the-ball playmaking
PJ Herrington has been a disruptive, high-motor safety for Northwestern State, with a standout 2022 season that included 63 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a sack, three pass breakups, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a pick-six that flipped a game in a flash.[1][2] He also earned All-Southland recognition as both a defensive back and punt returner, which tells you he brings value far beyond the tackle sheet.[2] The big differentiator: he’s the kind of versatile, confident defender coaches trust in multiple phases, though recent notes also mention he battled injuries late in the season.[4]
