Kainoa Winston

Athletic safety who plays like a guided missile. Measured in at 5-foot-10.5, 185 pounds with 30.25-inch arms before his senior season. A top sprinter who posted times of 10.66 seconds and 21.58 seconds in the 100 and 200 meters, respectively. Plays to that speed on the high school football field. An absolute wrecking ball when working downhill. Takes efficient angles to the ball and meets ball carriers at full speed, shredding them on contact. Looks to play in fast forward at times. Instinctive and rangy in coverage, showing the ability to read quarterbacks and jump routes. Has the speed to cover from hash to boundary. Versatile skill set allows him to line up at either safety spot. Also lined up behind center showing his athleticism on designed runs. Does not have prototypical size, but play speed and physicality more than compensate for his average frame. Would arguably be the top safety in the 2025 cycle were he to be taller and longer. Younger for the cycle with a May birthday. Projects as a high floor prospect with the upside of developing into an early-round draft pick.
