Dwayne Slay (born June 21, 1984 in Brunswick, Georgia) is an American-born collegiate football safety who plays for the Texas Tech University Red Raiders.

At 6' 3" and 215 pounds, Slay is known as a vicious hitter. Primarily a free safety, pundits believe the senior is also capable of playing strong safety as well. While only playing for one season as a starter, Slay set a new Big 12 record with 8 forced fumbles in a single season. This achievement, along with Slay being one of the top tacklers in the Big 12, contributed to him being named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press in November, 2005. Slay was also named a 2005 First Team All-American by Sports Illustrated in December, 2005.

Arguably, Slay's most infamous game was Texas Tech's contest against the Kansas State University Wildcats on October 15, 2005. In the game, Slay had two hard tackles that were noted by national sports outlets. The first was a tackle on Kansas State wide receiver Davin Dennis that caused a fumble. But Slay later caused another fumble by laying an even harder hit on quarterback Allan Everidge on an up-the-middle draw play that forced Everidge to the turf for several minutes. Everidge was able to return to the game, but the Red Raiders won the game 59-20.

Pundits predict that Dwayne Slay will be drafted by a National Football League team in the third round of the upcoming NFL draft.
