Scouting Report

Evaluated 01/27/2024

Andrew Ivins
Andrew Ivins Director of Scouting

Ball-hawking safety that produced in a big way as a junior for Florida’s 4S champions, picking off multiple passes and returning a handful of them for touchdowns. Size and speed haven't been third-party verified, but in-person evaluations suggest that he’s close to 6-feet with a muscular build. Instinctive as he’s quick to read and react. Gets to the catch point in a hurry and isn’t afraid to jump in front of routes if the opportunity presents itself. Will deliver a blow if the opportunity presents itself, but isn’t the most technically-sound tackler in the open field at this stage in his development. Should be viewed as a potential playmaker in the secondary that should in theory be able to handle run-game responsibilities near the line of scrimmage with his maturing frame. Will need to buy into the process at the school of his choice, but has multi-year starter upside and a chance to emerge as an impact player in the right scheme.

H.S. Athletic Background
