It'll be interesting to track the success of a lower rated player named Christian Morgan, who was dynamic in his testing numbers at 190 pounds. He was rated a three-star safety, but just destroyed the testing metrics and is going to Baylor.
6'.05" and 190 pounds. Ran a 4.56 40, 4.03 Short Shuttle, 43.5 Power Ball, 42.8 Vertical Jump.
Or Kenneth ****s, a three-star cornerback going to Wake Forest.
6"0" and 197 pounds. Ran a 4.51 40, 4.10 Short Shuttle, 42.0 Power Ball, 41.4 Vertical Jump.
The top performers in the athletic testing's at Defensive Back were generally three-star kids, but all of them are going to lower level P5's. JaKorey Hawkins was another kid who tested like a freak at cornerback and is going to Ole Miss.
I'm taking kids who test like that as the last kids in my class, but you have to have the film to back it up. Sanguinetti tested worse than Brendan McKeon, a zero star DB who went to prep school since he had zero offers (including Stonehill College and Bryant University), so you can't just look at the testing numbers and throw out the play they put on film.
Guys like Clarke Solo, Michael Bailey, Taeshaun Rainey all tested a tick better than Sanguinetti and all will be going pro in something other than football. Rainey is going to Chowan University, Solo is going to Iowa Western Community College, Bailey is at Virginia Union University.
His testing results would make me scrutinize his play more. I truly could not find a defensive back that tested like he did that signed with a D1 school. His closest comp based on my database in athletic testing was Michael O'Neal from Midland Valley, who signed with Savannah State. Almost exclusively, the players in his testing bubble did not sign to play football in college either at all, or at least at the D1 level. The closest player I found in his bubble- who was bigger, ran faster, jumped higher, and had a better short shuttle, signed with Western Michigan as a safety.
