2026 NFL Scouting Report: Kamari Ramsey

Prospect Summary:

Ramsey played two seasons at UCLA, with a quality 2023 year with the Bruins, totaling 40 tackles and an interception. His best season came a year later with USC when he recorded 60 tackles with five passes broken up, two sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. In his final season, he had 27 tackles in nine games with the Trojans.

For the NFL, Ramsey is an interchangeable safety that can play free or strong safety. Deep down the field, Ramsey covers a lot of ground and shows the range to be a deep free safety. He has quality instincts, route recognition, and reads the eyes of the quarterback. He times his breakups well and shows some developed ball skills. He is also functional as a strong safety in zone coverage in the short to intermediate part of the field. He can help with man coverage on tight ends, and he flies around the field in the middle portion with impressive speed to the flat. Ramsey might not be a great fit to constantly line up in man coverage as a slot corner. He is better suited to play zone and help defend receivers that come into his area.

In the ground game and in pass coverage, Ramsey is an adept open-field tackler. He shows good form to wrap up the ball carrier and also delivers some hard hits that punish the ball carrier. Ramsey is a willing tackler and run defender who will attack downhill. Ramsey could stand to get stronger and add some bulk for the NFL. He plays a physical brand of football, and at his size, he could be vulnerable to injury with how he tackles. Ramsey may not have the size to be used constantly as the eighth man in the box. He could switch between free and strong safety.
