Missouri State’s tackling-first safety who set the tone for the Bears' defense
Titus Wall was a high-volume, tone-setting defender for Missouri State, finishing his college career with 262 tackles in 54 games, plus 6 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 interception, 8 pass breakups, and 2 fumble recoveries[1]. In the 2021 season, he added 74 total tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss, a strong sign of his range, reliability, and willingness to mix it up near the line[10]. He stood out more for consistency, instincts, and physicality than flash, and Missouri State called him its first-ever three-time captain[1]—the kind of leadership marker coaches love because it usually means the dude is the glue, not just the highlight reel.
