Reminds Us Of

Trevon Diggs Dallas Cowboys

Owns outstanding length for a skill player, especially in the arms. A do-it-all utility man on Friday nights that has put together some of the best wide receiver tape in the Sunshine State for the 2022 cycle, but is viewed by most college recruiters as a defensive back at the next level. Gets aggressive with his hands and has experience playing bump-and-run coverage. Does a nice job of feeling out routes and keeping his eyes on the quarterback while gaining depth. Longer reach helps eliminate certain throws while elite ball skills can result in takeaways. Speed is more of a build up than sudden, but he has shown that he’s capable of hanging with quick pass catchers that try to get vertical. Understands how to mirror with his hips, but still has plenty to learn on the defensive side of the ball. Should be able to contribute on a variety of different special teams throughout his college career given his wide-ranging skill set and could double as a return man as he’s rather dangerous in the open field. Well respected by both his teammates and coaches and was one of the main reasons why his school made it to the state semifinals as a junior. Likely to make an impact after a year or two on campus given how he moves around and makes things look easy. Could find a home at corner or safety depending on program needs. Might even have offensive coaches fighting to get him some reps at wide receiver if the injury bug hits. Has a chance to eventually develop into an NFL Draft pick.
