Daniel Cobbs (b. May 20, 2004) is a JUCO transfer safety from Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas, who is majoring in criminology and has three years left to play three seasons.

He saw time in four games in 2023 as both a reserve safety and on special teams as he retained his redshirt.

Cobbs prepped under coach Derek Ramsey at Fossil Ridge High School, where he hauled in 85 passes for 1,131 yards and 11 touchdowns during his three-year career for the Panthers.

He had 865 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior and totaled 70 tackles as a junior, while he tallied interceptions during both his junior and senior campaigns.

(You can check out his various highlight videos here.)

Cobbs spent the 2022 season at Tyler under head coach Tanner Jacobson, where he was teammates with current K-State cornerback Justice James and linebacker Kaden McMahan.

He chose a scholarship offer from K-State over others from Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion and Texas State.

Cobbs was a late spring addition to (and 31st member of!) the 2022 recruiting class.

His older brother, Stefan Cobbs Jr., was a wide receiver at Boise State University.
