Ernie Tabuteau brings veteran depth and ball-production upside to USF’s secondary
Tabuteau looks like a steady, experienced defensive back for South Florida, with 19 solo tackles and 2 forced fumbles on his career ESPN stat line, suggesting he plays with physicality and plays around the football rather than just in coverage.[1] He also earned Big East All-Academic recognition at USF, which points to the kind of dependable, detail-oriented profile coaches usually trust in a rotation or special-teams role.[6] The fit appeal is simple: if you want a disciplined, effort-driven DB who can tackle and create disruptive plays, he’s worth a look.[1][6]
