BIO: Two-year starter who posted 64 tackles and broke up four passes as a senior after 102 and eight as a junior.
POSITIVES: Strong, nice-sized safety best defending the run. Solid tackler who gets off blocks and works to mix it up. Displays suddenness to his game and coverage skills in zone.
NEGATIVES: Stiff and does not redirect to ball handlers well. Commits to a move early and take himself out of the play. Marginal ball skills.
ANALYSIS: A solid athlete with good size, Pugh must improve his overall cover skills. Presently looks best as a backup for a two-deep defense.
