Draft Profile: Bio
Kamari Wilson, a safety from Arizona State, has taken an unconventional path to the NFL draft. Born on April 10, 2003, Wilson began his high school career at Fort Pierce Westwood before transferring to the prestigious IMG Academy. As a five-star recruit and the top-ranked safety in the 2022 class, Wilson initially committed to Florida, where he saw immediate playing time as a true freshman.In his freshman campaign at Florida, Wilson played in all 13 games, starting two at safety. He recorded 39 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup. His snap count of 311 ranked 12th among all true freshmen in the FBS that season, showcasing his early impact. After a limited role in 2023, Wilson entered the transfer portal and landed at Arizona State for his final collegiate season.
At Arizona State, Wilson looked to build on his early promise and solidify his draft stock. His journey from top recruit to Power 5 starter to transfer portal entrant reflects the modern college football landscape and presents an intriguing profile for NFL teams to evaluate.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Five-star pedigree with size at 210 pounds for the back end
- Intercepted a throw against NC State while patrolling deep
- Posted seventy-four tackles across box and deep alignments
- Sticks in the hip pocket in man coverage over the slot
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Below-average timed speed limits the deep range against verticals
- Open-field finish is shaky, with fifteen misses on the year
- Sharper mirroring in man than passing off routes in zone against quicker targets
- Well-traveled prospect now on his fourth college program
- Disruption output is modest for a full-season starter
Scouting Report: Summary
Wilson is a big, experienced safety with five-star pedigree and a leading man coverage, a 210-pounder who snared an interception against NC State and posted seventy-four tackles across box and deep alignments for Memphis. The size, the man-cover ability over the slot, and the starting experience across multiple programs give him a projectable strong-safety identity. The frame and the cover instincts are the traits that keep him on the radar despite a winding path.The speed and the finish are the concerns. His below-average timed speed limits the deep range against vertical routes, his tackling finish is shaky with fifteen misses, and his crisper in man than reading concepts in zone. He is a well-traveled prospect on his fourth program, and his ball production is modest for a full-season starter. He is a size-and-man-cover safety whose range and finishing cap the ceiling.
He works as a developmental strong safety and big nickel who covers the slot and fits the run, a Day 3 contributor now headed to a new program. The below-average speed and the missed tackles keep the grade measured, but the size and the man-coverage are bankable. He grades as a sub-package safety best deployed near the line and over the slot, with the man-coverage and the size the draw.
