Tall long armed kid with good technique, natural skills, exemplary footwork & route IQ.

Started opposite of Micah Abraham as a True Sophomore last season & put up good numbers with 55tks 10PD's & 1INT. Played mostly as a Boundary, but also had a few snaps at Nickel & Field.

He's another Chevis Jackson kid who excelled early under his tutelage, much like Karon Prunty, Cobee Bryant Mello Dotson & others. Had a good coverage grade with his best games being against, NC ST, Old Dominion, App ST, JMU, G-ST, G-Southern & Ark ST. He's also very good against the run with an exceptionally high 80+ percentile run defender grade as a CB. Which means he did very well coming up in run support & laying a hat on somebody & from watching his games, he was most of the time in pursuit from the Boundary side, which means most of those tackles in run support were effort plays on back side cutbacks.

From a technical aspect, he displayed advanced level technique & awareness for a kid starting his first season.

He does a really a good job utilizing his one/two-hand jam to keep his man in front of him & stifle routes. He completely disrupts the rhythm & timing of the release in order to intercede the stem while reshuffling his feet to break on the ball.

Another thing he does really well is play with outside leverage. He walls the WR & presses to the inside hip to once again slow down & re-route before the stem not allowing for the WR to stack'em & get up field. And in the instances where he has to play to towards the outside shoulder of the WR coming over top he displays active hands making a play on the ball while not being grabby.

Overall, this is very good add. He can play Press Man, Off coverage in Quarters & understands how to stay within the pocket to keep from getting beat immediately off the release. He's got good physicality at the line & has enough recovery speed to get back to the ball on in breaking routes, curls, comebacks etc.. He also adds another Corner to the group that allows for flexibility to move Mesh Powell to Free Safety & can put DP JR at Nickel in certain packages.

This is an upgrade over Ja'Dais Richard & Damari Brown, plus with his familiarity with Chevis teaching & Guidreaux's Defense, he'll be able to seamlessly transition without too much of a steep learning curve.

Great pickup!

***** natty.

I take Blue Whale pancreas extract, Sliver Back testes drops into my eyeballs, and 10 grams of ground up Bull Squirrel liver with my daily 80 grams of Panda and Condor protein mix.

Pre-workout I shoot a chaser of radiator fluid.

I'm jacked to the ****!

Depends on how you intake? If you line it up on the actual bench before you go, add some jack3d and sniff it as a bump THEN hit the 3 plates, you gonna bang out 3 reps**

















** disclaimer: NOBODY actually do this, this is a joke.. I know we have "special" people

I hit 3 about 10 years ago and haven’t been able to hit it again. I also don’t push the weight as much anymore since I broke my back and tend to do higher reps with lower weight. It’s a **** of a feeling when you get the 3 plates up for the 1st time though.

I stick to mostly DBs. Trying to make sure we keep the shoulder flexibility and I can’t afford an injury at this point 😂

I was waiting for you to post this. I stopped using straight bars about 20 years ago due to shoulder issues. No matter how much I warmed up my rotator cuffs straight bar, and especially flat bench straight bar, just killed my shoulders. No such issue at all with DB’s.

It’s a better workout anyway IMO. I’ve always gotten better results from DB at least.

Terrific job of flipping his hips vs the outside release while in inside leverage & using a quick jab to initiate contact without holding. Then reading the WR's eyes & steering him towards the sideline. Once he recognized the route he got his head around to locate & make a play on the ball.

A lot of corners, (especially ours) would've just continued with their head down towards the WR & tried to face guard him, which a lot of times would end up as a PI. But him using the sideline as an extra defender while identifying the route allowed for him to re-shift his positioning cutting off the WR's stack on the fade route & attack the ball at its apex.

That's textbook Boundary coverage & another example of Chevis's teaching being applied in real time.
