The Seattle Seahawks will open training camp at the VMAC in less than a month, officially ushering in the first season under new coach Mike Macdonald.
In preparation for the new incoming season, we’ll be detailing every member of the Seahawks 90-man roster over the next several weeks, diving into scheme fits, exploring best and worst case scenarios and predicting what to expect from each player entering the 2024 campaign.
Committing to Clemson after earning All-State honors on both sides of the ball in Virginia, Wallace found his way onto the field for limited snaps as a true freshman and developed into an All-ACC performer before being drafted by the Eagles in the fourth round in 2020. Primarily used as a rotational reserve and special teams contributor, he produced 64 tackles, two pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in three years in Philadelphia before being cut last August. Spending time with Arizona and Tennessee during the 2023 season, he set a career-high with 89 combined tackles, recorded his first interception, and had five pass breakups. Continuing to bounce around, he signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in March hoping to carve out a consistent role in Macdonald’s secondary.
Set to turn 27 years old in July, Wallace remains a fairly young player with some untapped potential who has enough athleticism and playmaking ability to be a reliable sub-package contributor for the Seahawks. Playing in a defensive system where he can move around playing multiple positions should serve him well, especially after he handled such roles with the Cardinals and Titans quite well last year while producing career-highs across the board.
