USC safety Kamari Ramsey joins the flock of Trojans in Houston

It was later than many expected, but it was a familiar destination for USC Trojans in the NFL draft. The Houston Texans selected Kamari Ramsey with pick 141 in the fifth round. The Texans and USC Trojans seem to be a consistent match, and Ramsey is the next example of that reality.

The Houston Texans are as talented as any team in the NFL in the backend. One of their key contributors is Calen Bullock, who has cemented himself as a high-caliber safety for Houston in his first 2 seasons. He has represented the Trojans in a spectacular fashion, and Kamari Ramsey will look to do the same.

Kamari Ramsey is coming off a season with the Trojans, where he missed a couple of games, and his production took a hit. Still, in 2025, he improved mightily as a tackler. As for 2024, Ramsey had his best season. Ramsey had 60 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 5.5 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 1 interception. In 2024, he truly was the staple of the Trojans' defense.

Ramsey has speed, as he ran a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash at the combine; he can play both safety positions, and he is an asset in run defense. Ramsey has all the makings to be a safety that Demeco Ryans can turn into a high-quality safety. To start the season, he may just be a depth piece, but who knows Trojans have made an impact early in Houston. Landing in Houston is as good an outcome as you can ask for the Trojan safety.
