5'9/10 165lbs 4-star CB out of Winter Garden, goes to 8A school West Orange.
Dual sport athlete that plays Football & runs track. Was clocked at a 10.7 in the 100m back in February & a 21.8 in the 200m.
Is a smaller Corner with good track speed & runs hard with great burst & acceleration in the open field. Has explosive feet & break away speed at WR & has great shiftiness as a return man. At CB has smooth fluid hips, plays with very good instincts & displays knowledgable zone spacing. @1:25 he showed very good coverage, he gave the WR a free release off the line but immediately opened his hips & engaged while reading the QB's eyes & showing good route recognition allowing the WR to cross his chest on inside leverage while playing through the route in phase using his hands & upper body to feel the WR as a contact guide to make a break on the route & made spectacular one handed INT. Then @1:35 showed very good eye discipline not biting on the double move, showed good Bail technique walling off the WR & using the sideline as an extra defender, then made another very good Jump break on the ball to get the INT.
Overall he's a naturally fast twitchy Corner & versatile athlete, they play him at Nickel, Boundary & Field at DB, & WR, KR & PR on offense, he's a natural playmaker with the ball in his hands. Has very good footwork & natural speed, even though he's a smaller sized CB has the skill set to be a P5 starter at Nickel Corner on the next level. Needs to work on his tackling & improve his physicality though.
Reminds me of Charles James out of Jacksonville.
