Donovan Dalton brings length, versatility, and a veteran edge to Hawaii’s secondary
In the 2020 season, Donovan Dalton was a 6-foot-4 defensive back who brought rare size and physical upside to Hawaii’s secondary, and his college profile shows a player with legitimate two-way athleticism dating back to high school. He entered college as a three-star recruit and, in the 2018 season, appeared in 12 games mostly on special teams before working his way into bigger defensive snaps, including an eight-tackle outing against Washington in 2019. The appeal is his frame, experience, and willingness to play multiple roles; the question for any team is whether his coverage consistency matches the eye-popping tools.
