Player comp: Shades of Bryan Cook

Menacing, ball-hawking enforcer at safety with excellent instincts in coverage and plenty of pop as a tackler.

Haulcy is a big and physical downhill safety who loves to lurk at the second level and jump into passing lanes or deliver a big hit. A transfer to LSU in 2025 after stops at New Mexico and Houston, he tallied three picks and four pass breakups for the Tigers last year while giving up just one touchdown in coverage. He proved to be a ball hawk over his college career, racking up 10 picks, 15 passes defensed, and four forced fumbles over four seasons. Haulcy shows good instincts in coverage. He sees routes developing, reads the quarterback’s eyes, and jumps into passing lanes to pick off throws. He demonstrates an understanding of what the offense is doing and gets himself to a spot where he can make a play. He’s decisive and shows no hesitation when keying in on a route, giving himself a jump on the ball. He’s shown good ball skills, with the hands to pluck it in traffic. Haulcy is a physical defender who delivers pop on contact. He comes in with a forceful peanut punch to dislodge the football and plays through the receiver to knock the ball away. He’s a fundamental tackler who gets low, drives through the thighs, and wraps up, regularly planting pass catchers and ballcarriers on their backs. He chops his feet and breaks down in space to avoid overrunning the play. He bulldozes right through blocks to blow up screen plays.

Haulcy is a little bit stiff in coverage, and he struggles at times to change directions fluidly without losing his footing. He lacks the elite twitch and speed to play deep-center-field safety and can be late to react to crossers, leaving the middle of the field vulnerable. There are times when he leads with his shoulder when coming in for a tackle and doesn’t wrap up. He needs to do a better job of finishing.
