Colts Draft LSU Safety A.J. Haulcy

0:00On April 25, the Indianapolis Colts just snagged LSU Safety, A.J. Halsey in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft at pick number 78. This Texas native brings serious ball-hawking skills to a secondary that needed depth after losing Nick Cross to the Washington commanders. Halsey's path to Indy was a grind through three colleges. He started at New Mexico with 87 tackles and two interceptions, then transferred to Houston where he started 24 games racking up, 172 tackles and five picks. He wrapped up at LSU with 88 tackles and three more interceptions, earning first team all SEC honors in 2025. Draft Knight had him glued to his phone and when that incoming call hit from the Colts, he knew it was his moment. He said he had a feeling Indy was calling his name and now he's hyped to compete for a starting safety spot right away. What stands out is his dog mentality. He promises to stay on the field and bring that relentless energy just like the Colts' second round pick from earlier.

1:03But Halsey's got his own flair, a nickname from his cousin, Mr. Give Me That, born from a text hyping him for another pick. Colts fans, get ready for this versatile defender to chase plays and lock down receivers. Halsey's learning curve from every stop is about to pay off. Big and the League.
