PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Avieon Terrell is a twitchy, competitive outside cornerback who plays bigger than his listed size and brings a well-rounded skill set to the position. A standout at Clemson and the younger brother of Falcons CB A.J. Terrell, he’s quickly established himself as one of the most complete defensive backs in college football. Terrell thrives in press-man and match coverage thanks to his fluid hips, quick feet, and ability to mirror routes. He’s also an elite open-field tackler, boasting a top-5 run defense grade among Power Five corners in 2024 and racking up 58 tackles with 4.5 TFLs. His physicality, route recognition, and knack for dislodging the ball at the catch point give him CB1 potential in the 2026 class. While not possessing elite size or top-end length, his instincts, motor, and technique more than make up for it. Terrell profiles best in an aggressive zone-match or man-heavy scheme with cover-3 and press quarters principles, offering early starter upside as a boundary corner with Pro Bowl-level ceiling.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
