Anyone know the kind of competition he plays?

Looks flat footed so his speed could improve if he learns how to run correctly. Kinda a jag imo. Like if Jacolby didn’t have a second gear.
Jesus Christ!! Some of you guys are just miserable!! The kid had 1,185 yards (20.1 YPC) and 15 TDs in the highest classification in Bama and you’re calling him a JAG! C’mon man!! He’s not the fastest guy but he runs nice routes. He catches the ball well and rarely gets tackled by the first guy. Stong lower half (pause). Reminds me of chance, with less speed.
Really good school. He was playing with his teammate 5* Cam Coleman who went to Auburn last year. He does look slow-ish but a good route runner, strong hands and tracks the ball well. Solid WR3 option for this class as a composite 4* nothing more.

**** maybe if Cam Coleman is unhappy next year at Auburn....
I think there’s more to what you said. Obviously lacking some quicks and top end speed, but good route runner. He catches the ball well, but he’s elite at RAC! Guys that can make the first guy miss or run through their tackles are chain movers! Love the take

Very skilled route runner.

His stemming is advanced for a HS WR & is a very good hands catcher. Runs the full route tree, which most HS WR's, (especially the ones from a certain region) don't. Has good outside stacking ability as well.

Nice smooth & quick release; no wasted steps or motion. You can tell he's been Coached on how to properly release off the line. He's not doing the Cha Cha slide before running his route & has good transitional movement with his feet getting out of his breaks.

Runs really nice 5 & 3/9 combo routes.

Lacks raw speed & explosion, but will get open off precise footwork & can be a valuable assest in this offense (if Dawson is still here by the time he gets on campus).

You can put him at Flanker or Slot & he'll be a consistent 10-12 yards per game type WR. Is not gonna burn anybody on a 9 route (except for our CB's in practice), but will fit well with the style of QB that Luke Nickel is.

Doesn't look 180, but has the frame to be in that 180-190 range.

The most important tangibles for WR's is footwork & hands, he has both the tools. Speed is important as well, but it's not as critical to the position as it is for CB. Meaning, you can be in the 4.55+ range at WR & still have success in College & the NFL. Plus, scheme is at least 50-60% of the reason for a WR's production (particularly in college). There are tons of WR's who are very productive every season in College who weren't high ranked coming out of HS & won't be Day 1 or Day 2 picks.

I think he's a solid pick up & like the take.

Yooo chill brother. Jag doesn’t mean trash to me. A jag can be a good smart winning football player that doesn’t flash elite abilities. I asked about competition to see if it’s worth checking out some full games, seems like it is. You’re sayin he’s similar to Chance an I love the way he plays.

I was iffy about the Shemar Kirk pickup too and he looked great in spring. I’m comfortable being wrong again lol
 
I’ve seen the kid multiple times. Most recently in the state championship this year. Any kid that’s able to make plays against Thompsons Secondary I’ll take my chances with. Central is known for producing really good high school WR prospects. Most notably Justyn Ross (Clemson), Karmello English (Michigan), Cam Coleman (Auburn), EJ Williams (Clemson).

The kid may not wow people with blazing speed (He’s not slow) but he will come in very well prepared. And ready to take somebody lunch money! Bama kids love ball man. And they’re raised to be physical and aggressive in the area he’s from. His former teammate was one of the freshman DEs TJ Parker from Clemson who had a good deal of sacks this year in the ACC.


Bo Nix Dad Patrick is his Head Coach. That school will always have D1 talent. A good group of those top kids are actually from Georgia. The zoning is so strange in that area but it’s definitely a school we should cherry pick from as long as we make the state of Alabama a priority, which it seems like Mario will.
