Makari Paige

Tall, rangy prospect. Still looks skinny right now. Carries his weight well and can carry more. Very long limbs. Excellent ball skills and natural athleticism. Center-fielder type who can take away deep parts of the field with his physical attributes as well as instincts. Versatile. Able to come down into the box and is a solid tackler. Also can blitz off the edge and has shown the ability to play man-to-man coverage. Long-legged, so must continue to work on shortening his transitions and can still get faster in a straight line. Has the growth potential to figure into several spots and is versatile enough to play many roles, but true free safety is where we project him. Can be a multi-year starter on the Power 5 level and has the attributes to play beyond college.
