Physical Stanford safety with proven disruptive instincts
Skaufel was a hard-hitting Stanford defensive back whose high school résumé showed impact plays everywhere: 99 tackles, 4 forced fumbles and an interception as a senior, plus value as a runner, which points to toughness and versatility[4]. At Stanford, he was listed at safety and used as secondary depth, suggesting a player coaches trusted for reliability and physicality even if he was not a headline stat producer in college[2][3][5]. If you want a safety who brings edge, contact, and special-teams-style grit, Skaufel fits the profile more than a pure ball-hawking playmaker.[3][5]
