2016 Projection

• With numbers thin at safety, he will have an opportunity to push for immediate playing time.

Blue & Gold Illustrated football analyst Bryan Driskell:

“Studstill is without question one of the most underrated players in the country. His combination of athleticism, instincts and toughness is as good as any safety in the land. He can do it all, and is just as comfortable coming down in the run game as he is dropping into coverage.

“Studstill is a physical player that explodes through contact. He plays much faster than he times, showing outstanding range and the ability to quickly accelerate off the hash. His football IQ is high and he makes strong reads in the pass game.”
