Draft Profile: Bio
Fabiculanan steadily climbed the depth chart at Washington, eventually earning a captain role in his final season. After redshirting in 2019, he saw limited action in 2020 before working his way into the rotation, culminating in significant playing time during Washington's 2023 National Championship run where he recorded 26 tackles, 3 TFLs, 2 interceptions and 4 pass breakups in 12 games despite missing time due to injury.A four-star recruit out of Westlake High School in California, Fabiculanan showed early promise with 76 tackles and an interception as a junior. His senior year was cut short but still productive with 44 tackles and 2 interceptions in seven games, earning Los Angeles Daily News all-area first team honors and Marmonte League co-Defensive Back of the Year.
Through five seasons at Washington, Fabiculanan demonstrated versatility by playing multiple positions in the secondary. His trajectory peaked in 2023-24 as a key contributor in Washington's CFP run, showing up in crucial moments including interceptions against Boise State and Tulsa early in the season and maintaining solid play through the championship game against Michigan.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Natural instincts in coverage with plus field vision and route recognition, quickly triggering on underneath routes while maintaining leverage
- Fluid backpedal and click-and-close ability in man coverage, demonstrating quick-twitch lower body when flipping hips to mirror routes
- Team captain who commanded the secondary pre-snap, making adjustment calls and aligning teammates through multiple defensive schemes
- Plus ball skills on tape, showing body control and timing when breaking on throws from single-high or two-deep alignments
- Position versatility to play deep third, robber, or slot coverage, offering three-down value in sub-packages
- Clutch performer who elevated play in big moments, notching key turnovers against ranked opponents and in postseason action
- Technical tackler who breaks down in space and drives through contact, particularly effective working top-down from depth
- Advanced processing speed in zone drops, showing spatial awareness to squeeze throwing windows and bait quarterbacks
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Undersized frame with below-average play strength, leading to struggles when matching up against Y-tight ends in coverage
- Hesitant downhill trigger against the run, showing inconsistent gap integrity when playing in the box
- Medical red flags with multiple games missed during final season, raising questions about ability to handle NFL physicality
- Limited explosive traits and recovery speed, requiring him to win with positioning and anticipation
- Gets eaten up by blockers at the point of attack, lacking the functional strength to stack and shed effectively
Scouting Report: Summary
The Washington safety brings starter-quality coverage traits to the table, particularly excelling in pattern-match concepts where his instincts and processing speed shine. His three-down versatility and special teams background offer immediate depth value in sub-packages while developing into a larger role.The scheme fit will be crucial - he's best suited for a quarters-heavy system that allows him to read route combinations from depth rather than spend significant time in the box. While the coverage instincts translate, the limited size and play strength raise concerns about matching up with NFL tight ends and surviving in run support.
Day three developmental prospect with core special teams ability and upside as a backup safety in a coverage-focused scheme. The medical history and physical limitations cap his ceiling, but the technical foundation in coverage gives him a chance to stick as a reliable depth piece with spot-starter potential.
