6'0 185lbs 4-star CB out of Denton TX, goes to 5A Ryan (same school as
Dual sport athlete that plays Football & runs track.
Was clocked at a 10.98 in the 100m & a 22.08 in the 200m.
Is long armed Corner with ideal size, good frame & very good technique. He has fluid hips & excels in press man, his jam technique is superb. @3:35, 4:05 & 4:40 on his tape he displays terrific Press man coverage & is an active aggressive corner making plays on the ball.
@3:35 shows great physicality in short area coverage, initiates contact at LOS with two hand jam (I prefer one-hand jam only) but reads the WR well & has quick route recognition, maintains physicality in phase, guides the WR pushing him toward the sideline on the out route, flips his hips & finds the ball. @5:02 was another excellent display of short area coverage, he immediately jams out of his stance, doesn't fall for the outside fake, uses his footwork & physicality to cut off the inside slant, he wins the leverage battle at the LOS with his jam not allowing the WR to get inside footing, he staggers his feet & adjusts his eyes to reading the QB understanding the slant is coming, essentially runs the route for the WR, boxing him out & gets a great INT. He's very good in tight coverage with mirroring the receiver & understands how to utilize his upper body to reroute & disrupt rhythm.
@4:05 & 4:40 on his tape he shows very good downfield coverage, always starts with a really good Jam at the line, keeps in contact flipping his hips, transitions smoothly in phase with good eye discipline reading the WR & gets his head around to get the PBU.
Overall is a big physical corner with very good press man ability, kid stays in the hip pocket, has fluid hips & good ball skills. Has good steer technique to force the receiver to the outside shoulder winning the leverage battle & has very good recovery speed. He's a sound technician with excellent footwork & is a prototype Field Corner that you can leave on an island covering the CB1.
Is also a solid tackler that shows good pursuit on CB Blitzes something he would excel at in our Defense.
Plays on a really good team that went 15-1, their only loss was the state championship game against Shadow Creek.
