Instincts: Tracks ball as well as a center-fielder. Reads keys and plants foot upon diagnosing, arriving in a hurry. Physical in run support; sheds blocks from skill players with ease. Packs punch as a tackler, especially with shoulder lowered.

Polish: Rare versatility. Comfortable playing deep safety, in the box and matching up one-on-one outside. Solid footwork, technique as an individual cover man; flips hips and sprints like a cornerback.

Bottom Line: McIntyre’s combination of size, versatility and coverage skills makes him an extremely intriguing safety prospect for the modern game. Speed, explosiveness is relative question marks; must be confirmed against Power-5 competition. Regardless, McIntyre projects as an early contributor for Pitt, eventually cementing himself as an impactful, multi-year starter.
