Show Notes
South Carolinas Jalon Kilgore, a versatile safety, has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft. Known for his impressive combine performance, including a 4.4-second 40-yard dash and a 1010 broad jump, Kilgore shone in positional drills attended by 31 teams. He started three years for the Gamecocks, earning All-American and All-SEC honors, and was named a captain. Kilgores versatility, with at least 45 tackles and 2 forced turnovers per year, including 5 interceptions as a sophomore, makes him a fit for modern nickel defenses. Despite occasional concerns about his limited outside corner experience and ankle tackles, his rare athletic score and speed have him poised for a likely second or third round selection.
