Summary
Strengths
Smooth mover and easily flips gears
Dominant in man coverage in 2025: 28.3 passer rating allowed on 130 man coverage snaps

Weaknesses
Can be a step late reacting to in and out breaking intermediate routes
Will miss some tackles from lunging
Credited with surrendering 7 TDs in 2024...allowed targets over the top of him or failed to make stops after the catch
Very short arms for a projected top 15 pick
Final Report
Delane is an athletic, fast and feisty man cover corner. His back pedal looks natural and he can mirror pass catchers altering speeds. He was a confident and dominant man cover corner for LSU in 2025. In press he is physical and disruptive, but has the long speed to open up and recover down the field. On underneath throws he consistently congests the catch point and has an infectious energy in the secondary. Previously at Virginia Tech he was late reacting to in breaking and intermediate out routes, but improved in this area in 2025. He will throw his body around like a safety but will occassionally whiff by lunging. Overall, Delane is an excellent cornerback that should be able to travel with opposing number one wide receivers at the next level.
