A.J. Haulcy’s NFL Draft Potential
Haulcy snagged five interceptions and eight pass breakups with Houston in 2024, before transferring to LSU. With the Tigers, he’s retained his high level of play while doing so on a bigger stage. The 6’0″, 215-pound safety has an enthralling blend of coverage, mobility, transition fluidity, reaction speed, ball skills, and sturdiness in support.
He might not have elite reduction freedom at his weight, but he can sink and redirect well enough, and he’s disciplined managing route concepts overtop and quick to break when he keys in on QB intent.
Just as quick as he can nab interceptions, Haulcy can also lay the boom with hard hits coming downhill. He shouldn’t be used often in man coverage, and he can still shore up his tackling technique, but a starting NFL role is in his future.
Where Does Haulcy Rank Amongst Other NFL Draft Prospects?
Haulcy is currently ranked No. 68 overall in my October 2026 NFL Draft Big Board.
