2023 JUCO WR Shemar Kirk - Reedley College, CA

[Cribby]

Sounds good, but does he move the needle? Depth piece or threat to take serious PT?

I think he plays , he’s a big play threat

IMO he’d start.

At worst he’d push Jacolby George to either step up & solidify himself as a starter or we find out George ain’t it.

But either way, he adds depth & another WR who can catch, run routes & that only expands the Offense.

Bless Akron U's little heart

I'm over here in Canton and got a chuckle out of that comment

Love his tape. Couple things stand out.

-Obviosuly the after the catch. Ability to break tackles and make people miss. At 6’1 180 that’s great. That height looks accurate.
- 1:32 watch his veritical route against press. Great move off press, but gets back on top of the corner to give himself plenty of space on the boundary. Good adjustment and catch.
- The above shows me route running ability. Route at 2:13 backs that up.
- Great job high pointing it multiple times

I think he is something we don’t currently have on the roster. Good mixture of size,speed,run after catch, and ability to win 1:1.

I think a good comp COULD BE Rambo with more YAC ability. Obviosuly has to prove it against the better competition. But I personally like the tape and potential.

You say he's less explosive than Chad Jackson but a big play threat? Chad was a freak, so how much less explosive is Kirk? Hopefully not too much. I want the UTSA kid as our #1 utility knife, paired with a blow-the-top-off-the-coverage kid as a speed demon specialist. Can Kirk be the speed demon?

They have the same game as for as yac, same height /weight at this age and both play physical for that size. He’s explosive but Chad was next level. They look and play alike minus the speed.

I remember Chad from his time in New England and that wasn’t anything to remember

He was a bust but was bad as **** at UF

Chad clocked 4.32 seconds at the combine. He'd be in the 4.2s in this day an age. That's scorching fast, next to no one runs that. But is Kirk a 4.4 kid, or 4.5+? Because we need 4.4, that one extra step or two, to force the better safeties to respect us.

OK but they don't grow on trees.

We getting this kid?

I don't see any daylight between this kid and Keyshawn Smith, who we just ran off.

Don’t have to be 4.4. If you have enough to consistently make plays downfield defenses will respect it

 

[Confidence1000]

He reminds me of a less explosive / fast Chad Jackson, He plays violent for a wr , breaks a crazy amount of tackles. He plays fearless. Good body control and high pointing the ball even though he’s 6’1. Good enough speed / explosion to stretch the field.

Must see clips of this guy catching balls out of bounds before I’ll know if we’re fuccin

That one catch put KeySmith up there on the wall

Most of us didn’t doubt his talent. It was his attitude that affected his play at Miami. Tapes don’t tell the entire story.

Are you comparing them ? Because i see no comparison. From style of play and build.

 

[skeeter]

Fair comparison...This kid looks to be a little physically stronger, better in traffic than K.Smith, maybe a better YAC option. K.Smith, who I didn't mind and I thought was a good #3 or #4 WR was more of a one trick pony.

Nice write up! You may have described Colby Young.
