6'1 170bs 4-star CB out of Georgia, goes to 6A school Valdosta.
Tall long armed kid with a very good physical frame. Is a long stride runner that covers lots of ground & has natural fluid hip turn ability. Has good ball skills with 5INT's, @:30 on his tape he showed good coverage & route recognition, playing in off coverage against the deep crosser, did a good job staying on the WR's outside shoulder to shadow the route while maintaining eye discipline on the QB & made a good jump break on the ball to get the pick. Has very good recovery speed & displays crisp footwork. Plays 90% of his snaps in off coverage bail technique, in my personal opinion I cannot stand it, it's of no fault of the kid of course, but on the HS level I feel you're not doing your kids justice by not teaching them proper technique & how to play Press man, it's lazy coaching IMO.
Anyway, he's also a good tackler that plays with instincts & does a good job fighting off blocks to get in the backfield & assist in the run game. Overall, is a long armed rangy quick twitch corner with good ball skills & recovery speed, will have to be taught how to play press man at the next level but has good upside at Boundary Corner.
Received a huge bump in today's updated 2022 rankings, got bumped up to a 4-star with a 91 rating.
