H.S. Scouting Report
Evaluated 10/20/2023
Three-phase playmaker on Fridays that projects as a coverage specialist on Saturdays. Under 5-foot-10 and slight of frame, but owns impressive track markers (second as a sophomore at Florida’s 1A meet in the 200-meter dash and fourth in the 100-meter dash). Played more wide receiver than he did defensive back as a senior, but has still flashed on the back end with his ball skills and blazing speed as he can get to the catch point and quickly close gaps. Has some experience working as an inside corner, and has the burst to hang with the elusive weapons everyone tries to deploy in the slot, but needs to improve play strength and get better with his hands. Has a chance to carve out a role as a multi-year contributor at the Power Five level. Could always get a look on offense given what he put on tape.
