Seahawks' Draft Focus: Safety A.J. Haulcy

0:00On March 24th, the Seattle Seahawks fresh off their Super Bowl win, head into the 2026 NFL draft in about one month with just four picks. For now, picking near the bottom of the order means less drama than usual, but their pre-draft visits are already heating up, especially in the secondary. The latest visit is with safety AJ Halsey from LSU, a six foot, 215 pound standout who shown at three colleges. He earned top honors in the SEC at LSU, the big 12 at Houston, and the Mountain West at New Mexico as a freshman. Over four years, he played 12 games each season, grabbing 10 interceptions, 19 passes defense, and four and a half tackles for loss. At the scouting combine in Indianapolis, Halsey clocked a 4.52 in the 40 yard dash, but skipped other drills. Scouts praise his instincts, ball skills, and physical style as a zone defender who reads plays well, and finishes tackles strong, though his speed. Limits him in man coverage or deep zones.

1:02He's pegged as a second or third round talent, lining up nicely with Seattle's picks at 64 and 96 overall. The team still needs safety depth, despite recent fillers and signings like Rodney Thomas II. Meanwhile, other top 30 visits include cornerbacks from Toledo, San Diego State, Georgia, and South Carolina, plus running backs from Kinesa. Johnny and local Washington star Jonah Coleman keep an eye on the draft tracker for more as Pittsburgh gears up next month.
