Raylyn Manley brings veteran DB versatility and steady tackling for Austin Peay
In the 2025 season, Raylyn Manley has already shown reliable, assignment-sound play in Austin Peay’s secondary, including a 5-tackle game against Georgia Southern and 2 tackles against Georgia, while finishing the 2025 regular season with 32 tackles, 5 passes defended, and no interceptions or sacks. He’s a senior, 5'10", 152-pound defensive back who transferred in after time at Virginia Union and a spring stint at Western Michigan, which suggests some real college mileage and adaptability. The fit case is simple: he looks like a disciplined, physical DB who helps on the back end, even if his profile is more steady glue guy than splash-play merchant.
