4. Scouting & Transfer Notes
Background Profile
Pollock entered the collegiate landscape with highly regarded four-star credentials from Shiloh High School in Georgia, where he excelled as a multi-phase perimeter weapon. Choosing Mississippi State over a heavy national offer sheet, he adapted to elite Southeastern Conference speeds instantly. As a true freshman in 2023, Pollock logged three starts across 11 games to compile 24 tackles. He locked down a full-time starting role for the Bulldogs as a sophomore in 2024, recording 48 tackles, a tackle for loss, and his first career collegiate interception.
Seeking a premier schematic adjustment, the highly tier-rated boundary corner entered the transfer portal and committed to Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders ahead of the 2025 campaign. Pollock completely exploded onto the national consciousness in Lubbock, starting all 14 contests, he registered 48 tackles, a career-high 4.0 tackles for loss, and led the roster with 5 interceptions to capture First-Team All-Big 12 honors. Entering his senior season in 2026, the elite ball-hawk operates as a premium boundary cornerstone.
Key Strengths
- Premium Ball Tracking & Turnover Creation: Possesses elite natural ball-hawk instincts, weaponizing advanced vertical adjustment traits to secure 5 interceptions during the 2025 campaign.
- Exceptional Linear Recovery Trigger: Showcases excellent catch-radius interruption mechanics and deep acceleration, holding an elite 35.7 passer rating when targeted during his first year in Lubbock.
- Extensive Multi-Conference Starting Mileage: Heavily battle-tested outside technician with 37 career games of experience split against premier SEC and Big 12 passing architectures.
- Highly Disrupted Backfield Trigger: Displays zero hesitation when diagnosing perimeter screen looks or outside ground designs, accumulating a rare 4.0 tackles for loss from the corner position in 2025.
Developmental Focus
While Pollock brings elite spatial coverage and top-tier statistical volume production to the table, professional personnel directors will evaluate his down-by-down capacity to absorb heavy blocks against physical, high-mass boundary wideouts. At 195 pounds, adding a touch of functional upper-body strength will optimize his capacity to execute rigid press-jam re-routes right at the line of scrimmage. Refining his consistency when executing physical, open-field downhill tackles against pulling perimeter blockers will finalize his projection as a complete, scheme-diverse early-round corner option at the next level.
