Day 2 NFL draft prospects teams will regret passing on (4. A.J. Haulcy - Production Score: 81, Athleticism Score: 75, OVERALL DRAFT SCORE: 84. A.J. Haulcy stands out as one of the safest projections among Day 2 defensive backs, thanks to a résumé built on consistency, versatility, and high-level production. Across multiple programs, he demonstrated the ability to contribute in a variety of roles, from deep safety alignments to hybrid nickel responsibilities. His combination of size and speed, along with a track record of tackling and ball production, makes him an easy fit in modern defensive schemes. Haulcy may not carry elite hype, but his well-rounded profile suggests a plug-and-play contributor with long-term starter potential.)

2026 NFL Draft sleepers: Day 2 standouts and Day 3 targets to know (Day 2 Standouts - 4. A.J. Haulcy - DJ's Big Board Ranking: No. 64. Production Score: 81. Athleticism Score: 75. OVERALL DRAFT SCORE: 84. Haulcy looks like one of the steadier Day 2 values at safety because the production and versatility both translate cleanly. Across four seasons and 48 collegiate games at New Mexico, Houston and LSU, he started 44 contests, recorded at least 74 tackles per season and earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2025, his lone year with the Tigers. The athletic profile gives that résumé even more weight. Haulcy ran a 4.52 40 at 215 pounds and finished his college career with 347 tackles and 10 interceptions while playing multiple spots on the field, with Dane Brugler noting his experience playing deep, rotating to the boundary in two-high looks or dropping down as a big nickel. For a player sitting outside Daniel Jeremiah's top 60, that kind of reliability and versatility makes him an easy bet near the top of the third round.)

Talk about a player who made the most of three different stops at New Mexico, Houston and LSU in college. In four seasons, Haulcy notched 347 tackles, never having less than 74 in a season. He added 10 interceptions, defended 19 passes and forced four fumbles. He's got terrific ball skills.)

Lions Draft: A safety for every round in the 2026 NFL Draft (3rd round: A.J. Haulcy - Haulcy would be your Gen-X 8th-grade football coach’s favorite safety. He’s a throwback to the Eric Turner style of safety, one equally capable of knocking out a crossing receiver or stepping in front and housing an interception. Unlike Turner and his brethren, Haulcy lacks speed and flexibility; his 4.52 40-yard dash at the Combine is faster than he consistently showed on film, a la one-time Lions second-rounder, Teez Tabor. Pros: Plays much bigger than his 6-0/215 size. Excellent pre-snap recognition. Great nose for the ball and where it’s going. Proven ability to align in a variety of safety positions and roles. Quick reactions in coverage. Feisty competitor and agitator, tone-setting leader on the field. Above-average block avoidance in space. Cons: Poor acceleration from a stop. Top-end speed is below-average and he lacks a chase gear. Played with a shoulder injury throughout 2025. Hitter more than a tackler, consistent failure to wrap up tacklers. Lacks body control and balance at top speed, will overshoot the point of attack) (3-23-26): https://www.detroitlionspodcast.com/jeff-risdon/2026/03/23/lions-draft-safety-prospect-every-round-2026-draft-profiles/

Connor Rogers’ NFL Combine takeaways: Jeremiyah Love could go top five, Jets leaning Arvell Reese? (LSU safety A.J. Haulcy had eight interceptions over the last two seasons (his nickname is Mr. Give Me That). He broke down how he’d be able to find the opposition’s tendencies by what formations they’d run on specific down and distances, often narrowing each down to three plays. His instincts on tape consistently standout, so it was cool to hear his mental preparation translating to production.)

Who could be this year's Nick Emmanwori (If teams are looking at big, athletic safeties, two prospects could see their names called earlier than expected: LSU's A.J. Haulcy and South Carolina's Jalon Kilgore. Haulcy measured in at 6-foot and 215 pounds. Ideally, he wants to play slightly heavier, more like 219 to 221 pounds. In his three stops in college over four years, he worked under five different defensive coordinators. "I feel like each system it taught me different things," Haulcy said. "My first system, we had a 3-3-5... I feel like going into my next year when we ran a two-high shell instead of a three-high, that was just a lot different. I feel like I learned the ins and outs of the two-high, then I had the 3-3-5, then also we played a lot of one-high last year." He feels like each new year built on top of the previous one. "Going through each system, picking up different things and what can help you in each coverage, in each scheme," Haulcy said. The former Tiger has the size and athleticism to be a factor in run defense. His varied background in coverage and a natural nose for the ball earned him 10 interceptions and 15 pass breakups in his four-year college career.)

Best NFL combine workouts, draft risers: The top performances and prospects from Day 2 (Who are the biggest risers from Day 2? A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU: Teams looking for a strong safety in this class should have Haulcy on their radar. The former Houston safety finished his college career at LSU and has a no-nonsense edge that really shows up against the run. He measures in at 6-foot and 215 pounds, and he ran an impressive 4.54 40 -- notable for a player with his body type. He is an opportunistic playmaker when the ball is in his vicinity, with eight interceptions over the past two seasons. Haulcy will hear his name called on Day 2. -- Yates) (2-28-26): https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/47978529/2026-nfl-combine-top-draft-prospects-workouts-risers-40-every-position
2026 NFL Combine results: 7 winners from the safeties group (A.J. Haulcy, FS, LSU (6-foot-0, 215): Haulcy is the heaviest safety at the Combine, and it shows in a positive way. Despite his thick frame, a 4.54 40-yard dash is very solid, and he looks like a player who could drop into the box as a coverage linebacker in passing situations. Haulcy showed the experience to properly throttle down, so as not to let his weighted-momentum carry him out of place, and then was able to explode out of his breaks, showing great acceleration and powerful body control. Haulcy did a nice job tracking the ball and high-pointed it at the catch point.)

2026 NFL Combine preview: 12 Defensive Backs the Lions should be scouting (Ballhawks - AJ Haulcy, FS, LSU (5-foot-11, 222): Haulcy has earned the nickname “Mr. Give Me That” due to his impressive ball skills and ability to create turnovers, but he’s more than just a single-high with range. Haulcy has a terrific set of skills that allow him to play deep, but his ability to cover ground also allows him to drive the box. While he plays the ball like a modern safety, he’s built like an old-school DB, and he’ll use that rock-solid frame to punish offensive skill players who enter his area. His ability to contribute as a ball-hawking center fielder and physical run defender makes him one of the more unique defensive backs in this class.)

2026 Combine preview: Safety (5. A.J. Haulcy, LSU, 6-0, 222: The best trait a safety can have is the ability to always be around the football and create turnovers when getting there. That's Haulcy in a nutshell. He can play the deep part of the field as well as be in the box. He generated 10 interceptions and four forced fumbles in stops at New Mexico, Houston and then LSU and had 88 tackles and three interceptions this past season playing in the SEC.)

2026 NFL Draft: PFSN’s Consensus Top 10 Safeties Feature Caleb Downs, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (5. AJ Haulcy, LSU: For starters, AJ Haulcy’s impressive 2025 campaign yielded a 91.6 PFSN CFB Safety Impact Score, good for sixth across the FBS. The Houston native was a lightly recruited high school prospect who began his collegiate career at New Mexico, where he tallied 24 tackles against Fresno State, the best FBS mark since Kenneth Murray recorded 28 four years prior. Such a season would propel him to the hometown Cougars for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, where an influx of honors would follow. Haulcy was recognized as the Big 12 Conference Honorable Mention Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2023 and a First-Team All-Big 12 selection the following year after taking away five passes. Haulcy would again opt for the transfer portal and finish his career as a reliable member of a talented LSU defense.

LSU players in college football top-150 list for 2025 season (LSU showed the biggest growth in the secondary this season and two of its biggest starts continue to bring in the accolades. On Thursday morning, the team at CBS Sports released the top-150 players of the college football season. A pair of defensive backs for LSU made not only the top-150 but were among the two highest ranked secondary players in the country for 2025. Cornerback Mansoor Delane was ranked No. 14 overall while safety A.J. Haulcy came in at No. 54 overall. Not only was Delane ranked as one of the 14 best players in college football on Thursday, he was also voted a unanimous first-team All-American when the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) released its teams. Like Delane, Haulcy was also recently listed to an All-American team by Sporting News. Haulcy was another one of the bigger signings for LSU in the last cycle, which was really impressive considering how late in the process he joined the program. Haulcy joined the Tigers in the spring window and wound up leading the Tigers in tackles with 88 on the season. He had a four-game stretch with double-digit tackles against Ole Miss (13), South Carolina (12), Vanderbilt (13) and Texas A&M (12). In 702 defensive snaps, Haulcy added three interceptions, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a tackle for loss. In 406 pass coverage snaps, he gave up only one touchdown and limited opponents to just 24 receptions. "Haulcy was impactful in both phases, serving as a physical presence in run support while leading the SEC with 88 tackles. He also made plays on the back end, finishing with three interceptions. An underrated defender, Haulcy consistently plays with strong awareness, understands leverage and opponent tendencies and closes angles effectively." Both Delane and Haulcy helped rebuild and set the standard for the LSU secondary in 2025. Their style of play was reminiscent of how past successful iterations of the defensive backfield have largely been tone setters for the roster. While the season at face value was a disappointing result, the Tigers can feel good about where those two have left that position room.)

LSU’s defense also paced the league in interceptions, passes defended (67) and passes broken up (50).

2026 NFL Draft Stock Report: Versatile DBs Moving Up the Board (Stock Up: DB A.J. Haulcy, LSU: If you want a hard-hitting, 220-pound safety, you usually have to give up something in the coverage department. That's not the case for Haulcy, who brings big-play ability against the pass to go along with the strength and toughness you'd expect from his solid frame. That was on display yet again Saturday against Oklahoma, when he grabbed this interception off Sooners quarterback John Mateer. Listed at 6-0, 222 pounds, Haulcy's ability to be an impact player against both the run and pass gives him limitless potential at the next level. Creative defensive coordinators will be able to line up up all over the field, rolling him in and out of the box before and after the snap to confuse opposing quarterbacks. In a safety class that's still wide open after Ohio State's Caleb Downs, Haulcy is making a strong case to be the second-best prospect in this year's class at the position.)

With star linebacker Whit Weeks out of the picture for now, someone on the defense had to step up against Texas A&M, and that someone was Haulcy. Storming into Tiger Stadium with 52 total tackles this season, Haulcy brought the heat as he secured a momentous interception in the second quarter. This drove the momentum momentarily in the Tigers’ favor as the Aggies had been threatening to score on LSU’s 3-yard line. Following that interception, Haulcy secured 12 total tackles on the night, leading LSU’s defense. Had there been more coordination on the defensive side of the ball, viewers would have likely seen bigger and better things from Haulcy beyond what he managed to bring to the field.

PALMER: LSU’s five most indispensable players (3. AJ Haulcy, S: LSU has rotated five safeties during camp, so numbers aren’t the issue here. LSU could replace Haulcy with a talented player—likely Jardin Gilbert or Dashawn Spears. This has more to do with the impact I believe Haulcy is going to have on this team. I think he’s a “difference maker” in the truest form of the term. Haulcy has great size, good speed and exceptional instincts. To me, he represents the elixir to LSU’s safety problems from a year ago. I expect Haulcy to challenge for the team lead in tackles and to make a few plays on the ball in the passing game. It’s what he’s done for three years elsewhere. And it’s what we’ve seen in camp. Again, LSU has real depth at safety.

Haulcy started off his collegiate career at New Mexico State, making the jump to Houston in 2023. His 2024 season with the Cougars earned him first-team All-Big 12 recognition, and he will look to continue his momentum upon transferring to LSU for his final year of eligibility. Haulcy’s forced incompletion percentage of 26.9% ties for the highest of any of the top-ten safeties on this list. Though his 17.2% missed tackle percentage keeps his SAF+ outside the top five, his five interceptions and six pass breakups weigh heavily in his favor.)
