Ed Rankin’s Idaho file is thin — but the secondary note says he was viewed as a converted-safety corner with confidence
Publicly available, current player-specific data on Ed Rankin is extremely limited, so there isn’t enough verified 2026 production to grade his season cleanly. The clearest scouting-style signal is older Idaho coverage noting him as a converted safety moved to corner, which usually points to a defender with better range, versatility, and football IQ than a pure outside-hold-the-line CB. If a team wants a developmental DB with adaptability and special-teams upside, that profile can be intriguing; if they need a proven, heavily charted shutdown corner right now, the evidence is not there.
