2025 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about CALEB RANSAW:
Tulane | Hometown: Harvest, AL | HT: 5115 | WT: 197 | 40 time: 4.33 | Hand: 0934 | Arm: 3100 | Wing: 7558
Three-year starter. Third-team All AAC in 2024, honorable mention All Sun Belt in 2023. Transfer from Troy prior to the 2024 season. Aligns as the nickel with extensive experience dropping back to two-high deep safety in Tulane’s defense; aligns over the slot receiver or apexed on single split receiver formations. Under-average height and weight with decent arm length. Fires out of his stance with impressive explosiveness and notable hip pop on contact. On the edge he squeezes tight with hips square and in position to take on blocks. Will take on pullers with a punishing collision; loves contact. Aggressive at the point-of-attack and will battle with bigger tight ends. In coverage, gets a strong collision while keeping hips square and visioning the quarterback. Excellent athleticism with fluid hips and speed to carry receivers vertical in the passing game. Natural feel for zone coverage to pick up threats in his area and is able to click-and-close on threats in a hurry. Fluid backpedal when dropping back to two-high safety. Despite his lack of ball production, he is aggressive at the catchpoint to punch through the hands and break up passes even with his back to the quarterback. A sure tackler who can break down quickly and drive through the ball carrier with excellent form. Shows the strength to shed and stack wide receivers and tight ends. An asset as a blitzer with considerable bend off the edge. In man coverage, he gives up his leverage often at the line-of-scrimmage due to stutter steps and head fakes, and can fall out-of-phase immediately. Speedsters can get by him with a clean release and separate quickly. Flat-footed in catch-man allowing receivers to get around him with ease, and limits his pop on contact in space.
2024 Stats: 34 T, 4 TFL, 1 sack, 3 PBU. OSR:2/25 for CB. VJ-40. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
