SMU’s high-volume, playmaking safety with NFL-caliber ball skills
Nwokobia is a rangy, physical safety who combines strong tackling volume with real takeaway production, finishing the 2024 season as a first-team All-ACC defender after 100 tackles, 3 interceptions and 3 pass breakups. His game pops because he can fit the run, cover ground in space and flip momentum with turnovers, while PFF also credited him with high snap volume and solid coverage impact in 2025. He fits teams that want an instinctive, durable safety who is comfortable around the ball and not shy about contact.
