Corby Eason was a ball-hawking BYU DB with elite breakup production
In the 2011 season, Corby Eason was one of BYU’s best secondary playmakers, finishing with 14 pass breakups and earning 1st Team All-Independent Defensive Back honors while ranking among the nation’s leaders in pass breakups and passes defended.[1][4][15] The standout trait here is simple: he consistently found the football, and that kind of instinctive, high-IQ coverage presence is exactly what coaches love in a DB. At 5-foot-8, he wasn’t the biggest guy on the field, but he played with enough competitiveness and urgency to make up for it.[3][6][15]
