Physical, fast-rising safety whose downhill style translates
Mustapha has shown himself to be a high-motor, physical defensive back with real tackling production and playmaking flashes, including 76 tackles and 3 tackles for loss in 2025 after a 72-tackle rookie year in 2024.[12][6] At Wake Forest, he was a captain and second-team All-ACC performer, known for relentless intensity, run support, and versatility rather than just coverage stats.[14][10] His strengths are closing speed, hit power, and willingness to trigger against the run, while the main question for a team is whether his smaller frame and coverage consistency fit your defensive scheme.[9][13]
