Good form as a tackler. Effective blitzer with great timing off the edge. Tough and competitive. Can be used as a dime linebacker. Has the skillset to be a standout on special teams.

Conclusion
Overall, Wallace is a Swiss Army knife at safety that can play either man or zone coverage and will tackle around the line of scrimmage. He could be a great potential value on Day 2 for a team targeting a versatile defender with the ability to cover the slot.
Dolphins would be a fit.
You can’t go wrong with a Clemson player.
Clemson not the goat what you mean. college mean nothing
Great analysis providing knowledge for college players I don’t watch. Thanks!
I like Wallace.
He could be a monster in the slot I’m telling you.
Get him.
