Colts Draft AJ Halucy: Hard-Hitting Safety

0:00On April 25, Indianapolis Colts just snagged LSU Safety, AJ Halussi, with the 78th pick in the draft. This 6-foot, 215-pound defender steps into a secondary needing depth, especially after losing Nick Cross to the Washington. Commanders in free agency. The Colts already got Cam Bynum, and Hunter Wooler, locked in for big roles at Safety, come 2026, so Halussi has a real shot to battle for. That starting strong Safety Spot right away. Fans and scouts love his backstory. He kicked off at New Mexico, bounced the Houston, then blew up at LSU as a first team all SEC pick in his one year. There, played 48 college games with 8 picks across his junior and senior seasons, showing sharp football smarts. He's a hard-hitting playmaker, who stuffs the run, and smashes passes with serious contact. The type you want on your squad. That said, man coverage ain't his strength, and his burst and top end speed race some flags.

1:01Colts front office clearly sees the upside in his physicality and instincts, betting he'll develop into a key piece for their defense moving forward.
