Ishmael.
Central Florida
Kamal Ishmael is ideally suited for a Cover-3 dominant scheme that prioritizes strong safety play in the box and run support, utilizing linebackers who can excel as primary pass defenders.
Year 1 as a core special teams player and sub-package safety, with the ceiling of a starting strong safety in a run-first defense.
A split-safety heavy defensive scheme that consistently asks safeties to cover large swaths of the field in deep zones.
Ishmael's physicality and tackling prowess are best maximized when deployed closer to the line of scrimmage, allowing him to impact the run game and deliver powerful hits.
