Tyler Scott

A bigger cornerback prospect that came on late in the recruiting process and went from a Group of Five commit to a priority target for Power Five programs around the country. Pushing 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds according to verified measurements from the All-American Bowl. The type of perimeter defender that isn’t afraid to mix it up and get a little physical. Flashes impressive power when asked to press at the line of scrimmage and has shown that he can move wide receivers backwards. Should only get more powerful once in a development weightlifting program, which will allow him to make more of a difference in man coverage. Has continued to refine his technique over the years and is pretty clean in his backpedal as he weaves his way in reverse while gaining depth. Competitive at the catch point and will fight through hands to make a pass breakup. Scrappy as a tackler and seems to always be trying to sweep a ball carrier’s legs in hopes of getting them to the ground. Could probably be deployed as a safety on Saturdays and was being recruited by at least one school to work over the top, but size and the way he moves is likely to keep him on the outside. Top-end speed remains a bit of a question mark, but has tools to work with and could blossom into a multi-year contributor in the SEC.
