H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 05/21/2019
Projection
Power 4 StarterPossesses impressive size with good height and length and space to add more bulk in college. Shows good body control and physical awareness with the ball in the air. Adjusts well to the ball in flight, especially relative to size. Two-way standout for high school team who shows encouraging football instincts. Legitimate two-way prospect as a receiver or a safety at the Power 5 level. Displays good agility relative to size with verified 4.18 shuttle. Tons of potential as red-zone ball-winner. Long-striding speed-builder, but no combine testing context to his speed. Raw technically. Will need to expand and hone route-running ability. Must add strength to help transition to college level. Can more consistently use height/frame and work on high-pointing effectiveness. High-ceiling Power 5-caliber receiver prospect with ample long-term potential as a big outside receiver or rangy safety who presents matchup problems either way.
