2021 CB Dylan Merrell

[Memnon]

https://247sports.com/Player/Dylan-Merrell-46085506/

6'0 178lbs 3-star ATH out of Georgia, goes to 6A school Alpharetta (same school as 2021 S Jaden Slocum)

Dual sport athlete that plays Football & runs track, clocked a 10.92 100m, 22.35 200m, 52.60 400m & 19 1.5 in the long jump all earlier this year as his fastest times.

Is a versatile athlete that primarily plays RB & had 604 all purpose yards.

Has good arm length, with a muscular frame & good upper body strength, shows explosive feet. Has good change of direction & runs hard as a long strider. Has natural 4.48-4.5 speed & displays good contact balance. Will be a player who thrives in a S&C program, is built like a RB with but has the body type to get up to 190+ & maintain natural explosion. Fits the mold of what the staff has been looking for at DB, an ATH on offense that will play CB in college.

Has recently picked up offers from multiple P5 schools that are also recruiting him to play CB & got a bump in ratings bringing him up 22 spots. Despite not playing the position much if any in HS, has the athleticism, physical traits & upside that translates to Corner. Could play Safety as well.

Just committed to Duke back on 5/29, but is someone that could be a potential flip candidate if we miss on Markevious Brown.

Holds offers from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisville, Duke & Boston College.

Kid definitely has the quicks. I dnt think hes 6 feet though.

 

[BS85]

He's not 8 feet tall and doesn't have the wingspan of a pterodactyl so he's not a take.

LCE working overtime to help Diaz/Rumph find a **** CB.

Diaz should hire LCE!

Shoot we might have to take him and Brown if we can.

Be interesting to find out how our numbers look for 2021 now that we brought Jarrid Williams in. I know either him or Issiah Walker has to count to the 2021 class, right?

LCE should hold out for our next HC.

LCE should hold out for our next HC.

I don't think even LCE wants any of those problems!

nice find, El.

watching the tape, he seems like good athlete. interesting prospect.

he's definitely a long strider. that's his natural running gate. good speed and acceleration though.

wondering out loud if that means he better translates to a position other than CB.
