DB D’Angelo Amos has entered the transfer portal ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft

While Power-Five programs are set to get underway after Labor Day, uncertainty still remains at the FCS level. In fact, Division II and III programs have already been informed their season is over. Many FCS level players are now beginning to enter the transfer portal and make the jump the FBS ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft. Now joining them is James Madison defensive back D’Angelo Amos.

Who is D’Angelo Amos?

In 2019, the 6-1 and 184 pound redshirt senior saw his second full season as the starting safety for James Madison, and he displayed a world of versatility. Not only did Amos 36 solo tackles, five tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and a sack and a half, but he showed his ability to play that pass as well. Amos added an additional two interceptions and five passes defended a season ago.

Adding this to his totals after starting in 2018 as well, Amos enters his last season of eligibility with 77 total solo tackles, six and a half tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, and 11 passes defended. He even shows a great deal of athletic ability, serving as James Madison’s return specialist as well.

Amos returned five kicks a year ago, averaging 15 yards per return, but did most of his damage as a punt returner. Looking to flip field position, Amos averages 16 yards per punt return and has even returned five punts for touchdowns throughout his career.

Potential suitors for D’Angelo Amos with 2021 NFL Draft on horizon

Coming out of high school in 2015, Amos only had three total scholarship offers according to Rivals.com. Only one of those offers came from a Division I school, which was Army, making his recruitment process a bit of a sticky one.

Amos is a difficult prospect to project not only to the 2021 NFL Draft, but to his new school as well. He is worth monitoring, however, as he clearly has the versatility and talent to succeed between the lines. Where will he land? Your guess is as good as mine.
