Corian Gipson

Owns the physical tools and athleticism to play just about anywhere in the secondary. Originally projected as a safety, but we now view as a true corner prospect, especially considering extensive snaps on the outside. Possesses a wiry frame at 6 feet and slightly plus length that shows in his ability to crowd catch windows and pester receivers at the line.

Excellent multi-sport context with numerous examples of bona fide sprint speed. Posted six sub-11.00 junior 100-meter times. Play speed flashes that track evidence in his turn-and-run ability and an impressive top end when required to open up. Combines that linear speed with quick-footed suddenness in tight quarters. Generally sinks his hips well to combine with that agility to produce sudden redirecting and recovery ability.

Capable tackler but needs to add some mass and get stronger to be more consistent in that area. Can enhance ball skills. Would like to see more impact plays / ball production given ability to get his hands on throws late. Some view as a safety only, others as a true corner, so might need a scheme fit.

We view as a versatile DB who's trending more toward a boundary corner than safety, but certainly possesses tools that translate throughout the secondary, including on an island, over the slot, and over the top. Projects as a high-major prospect with the athletic profile and on-field flashes that suggest high developmental potential.
