Dee Newsome is a long, disruptive CB with rare ball-production upside
In the 2025 season at Samford, Dee Newsome appeared in all 12 games and posted 17 tackles and five passes defended, with a team-high five pass breakups and a reported 33.3% catch rate allowed on 24 targets, which ranked second among FCS defenders. The 6-foot-3 corner brings length, perimeter coverage ability, and special-teams value; coaches and reports consistently describe him as a long, flashed-upside defender who stands out at the position. If your team wants a developmental press-friendly corner with real ball skills, he’s a fit worth chasing.
