Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Jayron Kearse
Summary

DeShon Singleton is a physically imposing, versatile safety who rebounded from a major knee injury to anchor the Nebraska secondary. A former junior college standout, he is most effective attacking the ball in front of him, using his length and diagnostic ability to disrupt passing lanes. Whether aligned in the box or at depth, his downhill style makes him a reliable presence in run support and intermediate coverage.

About
  • 2025: Honorable mention All-Big Ten after leading team in INT (2) and PD (6)
  • 2021: Transferred from Hutchinson Community College (Kansas)
Strengths
  • Outstanding ball skills and length to disrupt intermediate passing windows.
  • Aggressive downhill tackler who pursues the run with physicality.
  • Versatile defender capable of blitzing from the edge or A-gap.
Weaknesses
  • Can be exposed by twitchy receivers due to lateral stiffness.
  • Occasional missed tackles in space when arriving out of control.
  • Tendency to be overly handsy at the top of the route stem.
Combine Data
  • Vertical jump: 39.5 inches
  • Broad jump: 10 feet, 10 inches
