Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Tyler Owens
Summary

Cole Wisniewski is a highly decorated and intelligent safety who successfully made the leap from the FCS level to become a key contributor in the Big 12. Known for his "hair on fire" playstyle, he is a physical defender who excels when moving toward the line of scrimmage to stop the run. His combination of veteran leadership, high-level academic pedigree, and reliable tackling makes him a steady presence in the secondary.

About
  • 2025: Honorable Mention All-Big 12
  • 2023: Consensus All-American at North Dakota State
Strengths
  • Physical downhill defender who thrives at stopping the run.
  • Instinctive tackler with a high motor and great pursuit speed.
  • Reliable ball skills and the ability to compete at the high-point.

  • Best suited for zone schemes rather than one-on-one man coverage.
  • History of foot and undisclosed injuries that caused missed time.

Top Cole Wisniewski News

  • Eagles' Cole Wisniewski: Picked by Philadelphia

    The Eagles selected Wisniewski in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 244th overall.

    Wisniewski probably is not a serious starting safety candidate at the NFL level, but at 6-foot-3, 219 pounds the Texas Tech product has the build to crash hard against the run from the strong safety position. His 2025 season with the Red Raiders was his sixth collegiate season after playing the prior five years at North Dakota State, mostly as a backup. The Eagles will probably be content if Wisniewski can simply play on special teams.
