Jonathan Epperson

Epperson is an intriguing athlete who could play 2-3 different positions at the college level. Defensively, he’s a hybrid linebacker/safety and was one of our Top Performers at the Under Arnour Next Camp back in April. At 6-0, 210 pounds, he has a safety frame and covered very well at the UA Camp but likely grows in to a ‘backer and that’s where we see his upside highest. He’s rangy, can play in space and looks like an ideal weak side ‘backer who can match up against tight ends and running backs. He’s physical enough to play linebacker as well and has enough length and athleticism to be an impact player at the high Power 4 level. He has flashed as a running back at the high school level and two-way snaps have proven to be a strong indicator for not just college success but as a potential NFL player. Assuming he’s able to stay healthy and continues to develop at the rate he is, he has both a high floor and a high ceiling as well with the potential to play on Sunday’s.
