Versatile 6-1 DB with Hybrid Value, But Availability Has Been the Story
In the 2025 season, Amarion York was viewed as a versatile nickel/safety fit for Oregon State’s secondary, with reliable man-coverage traits and enough physicality to contribute on special teams; he also blocked a punt in 2024 and brought JUCO production with six interceptions in 21 games before arriving in Corvallis. The catch: injuries and a scheme fit that changed under the new defensive look limited his impact, so he profiles more as a useful role piece than a locked-in full-time starter. If your team wants a longer, hybrid defensive back with flash plays and special-teams juice, he’s intriguing—if health and consistency hold up.
