College Bio

Career Stats

A three-year starter at Washington, Rapp was a versatile piece for the Huskies, lining up at linebacker, strong and free safety throughout his collegiate career.

Rapp is an impact striker and hits differently than most safeties, creating multiple car pile ups that force ballcarriers to think twice. His motor is always running hot, and it shows when he is in pursuit. He is highly aggressive and intelligent in everything he does on the football field.

Rapp doesn’t possess the range, speed or other worldly athleticism to be a deep single high safety. Rapp is a prototypical box safety who thrives against the run from the box and in man coverage against tight ends. He’s a strong, smart and versatile defender that has elite tackling ability in confined areas.

Overall, the former Washington product has the traits to be a staring strong safety or nickelback at the next level.

Projection: 2nd Round
