That's tall for a safety.
I wonder if he projects as a linebacker after he bulks up a little?
I bet he fits the profile Mason likes — fast!

Welcome, Derek!
Congratulations on making a decision you'll be proud of for years to come.

Its historically tall for an SMU safety - not tall for a normal div 1 safety. Glad to see us move away from the smurf trend

This is good news. We need to bolster the back of the secondary, and if it can be done with someone who has some size, even better.

Yes, ditto --- glad to finally get a guy who isn't 5' 10" - hope he sticks to defense - we've been around that size for 20 years and WR's tower over our db's.

Welcome aboard, Derek
