First off, I'd like to say that I am by no means a professional talent evaluator, and this by no means an attempt to prove that I am. Just wanted to show you guys a kid I think has a bright future in football, but it seems no one else does, or no one has taken note of him that can do anything about it.

I know with all the athletes we've got in the secondary close to home that the staff isn't looking too far away, but this kid from Manatee HS in Bradenton is a baller IMO.

Doesn't have any offers, and the only mainstream recruiting service that has a profile for him is Rivals. His name is Darian Dailey, and what stands out most to me about him is his ability to find the football. He only had one interception on the season, but the kid gets his head turned around and breaks up a lot of passes. He has good speed, and isn't timid in run support. Isn't too small at 5'11" and 170lbs, and has a little mean streak to him which I like (See: pushing players back into the ground after making the tackle). One thing I will say is that he was never very active at the line of scrimmage, and he had to play catch up to a lot of the balls he deflected.

Now, before yall attack me, I DO NOT think this kid is better than Lammons or anyone else The U may be recruiting at the moment; but nonetheless, this kid balls.

Here's his Hudl, yall can tell me what you think:

His Rivals:

Story I found interesting on his family, and football bloodlines:

Hopefully someone takes note of this kid and gives him an opportunity. I think he could really develop into a true shutdown corner.

If he camps, he probably has a pretty good shot an offer. That strip on the reverse was great and he's a good hitter
