Hamsah Nasirildeen

I think a lot of FSU football fans have forgotten about senior safety Hamsah Nasirildeen after he got injured against Florida and missed the bowl game.

However, I wrote about how his stock was rising just a couple of weeks before the season-ending injury, and it’s likely he would have been drafted this year if he were healthy and entered the draft.

He’s led the Noles in tackles in back-to-back seasons from the safety position and was the first Nole to eclipse the 100 tackle barrier since linebacker Reggie Northrup in 2014.

Nasirildeen is the No. 2 ranked safety on this list. Now, we’ve seen multiple safeties taken in the first round over the past few seasons.

It all comes down to what teams need and where they are picking, but this ranking suggests Nasirildeen could be off the board before the third round.

That’s possible with his production, and he’s a player that will likely destroy the NFL Combine if he’s able to work out.
