6’0 185 3-star CB at Snow College (a JUCO in Utah)
Is originally from Las Vegas, but moved his Senior year to California & played at Helix HS in LA Mesa (San Diego) which is the same school that Reggie Bush & Alex Smith came from.
In his first year at Snow college he finished the year with 27tks 10PBU’s 5.5TFL’s & 3INT’s.
He’s a good size corner with naturally fluid hips & ball skills. He plays primarily in off zone coverage in Bail technique & has good eye discipline reading the QB. @1:08 on his tape shows his press man ability doing a good job with coming out of his stance with good shuffle technique & showed instinctual reaction while reading his man with a quick step break & immediately resetting his feet to make a play on the ball.
@:55 on his tape he’s in Press man again at Boundary, he gives free release to the inside while playing Bail again eyeing the QB, but did a good job mirroring the WR & flipping his hips while using a quick jam at the top of the route to regain leverage while in phase & getting his head around to locate the ball, this was a smart play because he essentially boxed out the WR to the back of the end zone & made it so the QB would have nowhere to throw but out of bounds, but smartly got the INT because he basically walled off the play using the back of the end zone as an extra defender.
@1:40 was very good press man coverage as well, coming out of his stance with good staggering of his feet, then this time he initiates with a solid one hand jam coming out of his shuffle & gets his hips flipped, he reads the WR & recognizes the fade route & while he doesn’t have time to get his head around he follows textbook coverage rules of transitioning in phase & getting his hands in between the WR’s arms to fight through the ball & cause the PBU while not actually seeing the ball being thrown. It’s an anticipatory play that as a corner you have to know how to read the WR’s shoulders & upper to be able to anticipate exactly when to time to get your hands up & swat the ball.
Displays good quick footwork & has natural speed, in HS was clocked at a 10.94 in the 100m his Junior year & by eye test looks to have consistent high 4.4 to low 4.5 speed, he also played WR in HS & had 36rec 563yds & 10TD’s.
He’s the #1 ranked JUCO CB in the country & played on a team that went 8-1 & played in the JUCO National championship game. (He just recently was in Miami 2 weeks ago playing against ASA Miami JUCO, DVD’s first coaching job)
Holds offers from LSU, Auburn, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Tenn, FSU, NC St, TCU, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, Cal, Arizona, Oregon St, San Diego St, SMU, TTech, BYU, Fresno St, Jackson St, UNLV & Buffalo.
