Some day 2 prospects that I like for us........
Top 50 prospects......
ERIC STOKES - CB - UGA - RJR - 6’1” / 190# - Flat out beastly athlete at the corner position. Really improved his physicality and ballskills timing last half of 19 and superb in 20. Elite speed (4.3s) and burst (1.4s) combined with length, IQ, route recognition, and body control/contact balance to play any coverage. Physical in run support, bodies receivers against sideline, hands are disruptive at release/initial route break/TOR/CP, funnels opponents into help, ability to undercut yet still recover, ST monster, incredible flexibility in hips/ankles allows for easy mirror movements in close contact. Will bite on double moves, occasionally drifts in deep third coverage, gets flagged for timing of catch disruption too often ( this hasn’t been an issue in 20).
JALEN MAYFIELD - OT - MICHIGAN - RSO - 6’5” / 320# - Athletic big man with plus movement skills, good feet, excellent mechanics, feet and length eliminate arc angles, solid stunt reco, strong punch that needs refinement in its location consistency, dynamic grip strength/hands on rep is over, powerful down blocker, easy climber to 2nd/3rd level, needs to continue to work on locating secondary targets, solid kickstep that covers ground, fantastic contact balance, good positional blocker, great feet to perform scoop/pull/fold/shield blocks, dominated Chase Young/OHST & BAMA in 2019, rough 1Q against PSU. With more tape this season now will move into round 1. Was my second highest graded OT in 2019.
PATRICK JONES II - SDE/LEO - PITT - RSR - 6’5” / 260# - Big, long, great 1st step, productive technician, with a ton of great reps on tape. Has several passrush moves/counters (1-arm post, push/pull, straight low center bull, speed shoulder bend, inside counter rip/swim, faint 2-hand swipe), sets physical edge to collapse versus inside run, beats pulls/traps with speed/length/stout physicality, can work inside on passing downs, forces turnovers (5 FF), strong aggressive hand strikes, excels with hand strikes/footwork in coordination, works back to QB instead of just getting pushed around the arc.
JOE TRYON - LEO/SDE - UWA - JR - 6’4” / 260# - True Junior, high motor/football IQ, heavy disruptive hands that need work on placement, length to disengage/finish, wins with talent, has multiple passrush arsenal (rip/swim-1arm post-faint/slap inside counter), superior flexibility to flatten arc, explosive 1st step, great COD, needs to work on hand technique, physicality consistency improved YOY, converts S2P, position flexibility as LEO/OTTO/SDE, exceptionally athletic, only scratching surface of his explosive power/strike timing/S2P ability. 2nd-3rd year in NFL could be All-Pro with right coaching.

ANDRE CISCO - FS/NCB - SYR - JR - 6’ / 205# - Uber athletic, explosive speed (4.3s), legit ballhawk, works S2S/short zones/middle of field, superb body control, excellent understanding of route concepts and where the offense wants to attack in the pass game, very disruptive at catch point, willing but shitty tackler, must improve his pedal/speed turns/press technique, takes poor angles in run pursuit.
TERRACE MARSHAL- WR - LSU - JR - 6’3” / 200# - big, strong, fast (4.4s), tough @ catch point through contact, very nuanced route stems/tree, good RAC, incredible length makes for monster catch radius, redzone target, creates massive separation at TOR, strong soft hands, decent willing blocker, good contact balance, excellent footwork around boundary, great leaping ability leading to highpointing ball over defenders, produces explosive chunk plays, open when covered.
ZYON MCCOLLUM - CB - SHSU - SR - 6’4” / 200# - (No games until spring) - 4.4 ballhawk with size/length, plays with physicality and a nasty attitude, will flat out hit you, excellent ankle/hip flexibility, understands route concepts, GAME CHANGER (9 INT/2 pick 6’s, 4 FF) in just 3 seasons, disrupts catch point, speed turns need work, explosive plant/drive ability from zone back pedal, strong hands for ripping ball away, tremendous vision in locating potential receiving threats in zone, loves contact/fierce in run support, true impact tackler, impressive closing burst, needs work on TOR denial techniques, sleeper until the combine.
PAT FREIERMUTH - TE - PSU - JR - 6’5” / 260# - Ideal size for position, adequate speed, fantastic length/catch radius, toughness isn’t an issue, strong foundation to build on blocking prowess, Big target up the seem, solid athlete for size, very productive as safety valve, can be redzone weapon, works screens/picks with subtle deception, exceptionally strong at catch point, fights for every ball with vengeance, breaks tackles/drags defenders for extra yardage, LBs will have trouble with him up the seem and getting pancaked in the run game.
DANIEL FAALELE - OT - UMN - JR - 6’9” / 400# - Enormous human being! Rugby convert has only has 5 years of football experience. Power is off the charts, despite size plays with solid leverage, good flexibility, excellent movement skills not just for his size, able to identify/target/engage 2nd-3rd level defenders, devastating drive and upper body power (tosses, collapses, destroys 1on1 blocks in run game) resets LOS, changes run lanes on down blocks, kickslide has awkward motion but gets depth quickly, good contact balance, needs better technique with power step, punch is bone jarring but lands high, needs to sit deeper/bow back in anchor (still unmovable to bullrushers).

He is a dominate passpro practitioner with his nimble feet, contact balance, quickness, power, IQ, savvy, strong accurate punch, stout anchor, and phenomenal grip strength. Zion uses all those those skills/abilities in the run game plus terrific hip drive power, identifying gap shooters or 2nd level defenders, and outstanding technique with hands/feet.

Incredible natural athlete with plus body control, contact balance, natural instincts, ballskills, exceptional football IQ, and route recognition ability. Only playing LB for last 2 seasons so barely beginning to realize his potential. Fast (4.5s), fundamentally sound tackler, TFL machine, length to disrupt passing lanes, understands route concepts, agility/speed/size to matchup TE/WRS/RB, makes impact plays and defensive stops.
AUSTIN WATKINS - WR - UAB - RSR - 6’3” / 210# - Big, smooth, fast (4.4s), dynamic playmaker who excels in his routes at all 3 levels, exceptional contact balance, high points ball at catch point, soft hands that snatch ball out of the air, diverse route tree, route stems look identical, breaks tackles, RAC all day, redzone weapon, stacks CB and separates at top of routes, willing but unspectacular blocker, beats press with feet and hands, tough over the middle, “my ball” mindset.

KEITH TAYLOR - CB - UWA - SR - 6’3” / 200# - Big, long, physical, savvy, boundary corner who excels in zone coverage. Had fantastic overall 18 season with a drop off in production in 19 but technically was improved. KT has solid footwork through transitions, ankle flexibility, a bit tight through hips, excellent length, is disruptive in press/@ catch point, long speed is adequate but not spectacular, loves contact and will hit you, stellar tackler in run support from sideline to inside force, does well picking up route combinations. A smart, disciplined, patient CB in man or zone responsibilities.
ORLANDO UMANA- OC - UU - SR - 6’4” / 320# - Truly a big nasty! Plays with intensity, desire, grit, determination, power, intelligence, and aggression as the game should be played. Umana is a beast in the run game with his drive power, impact hand strikes, phenomenal grip strength, hip torque power, quality footwork and quickness, ability to pull/fold/combo/and get to 2nd level. In passpro he has an unmovable deep anchor when he resets, strong punch (location consistency needs improvement), strong footwork technique, high football IQ allows for making protection adjustments/identifying blitz scheme/movement skills to adjust inside or out free runners, makes for impressive moving wall in zone run concepts.

Huge package with matching potential.
RASHAWN SLATER - OG - NW - SR - 6’4” / 315# - Experienced OT that will move to OG in the NFL.

His movement skills allow him to mirror, reach 2nd/3rd level, locate-target-engage opponents in open field, maintain contact in zone concepts, ability to work from initial target to secondary easily, perform pulls/kick outs/folds/combos. He needs to improve punch power, overall core/lower body strength, grip strength, and anchor technique.
TYSON CAMPBELL - CB - UGA - JR - 6’2” / 195 - Big, tall, fast (4.3s) but play speed doesn’t always match, exceptional length, an absolute ideal package for a boundary CB. TC possess a great closing burst, length to disrupt catch point/close passing lanes, size to body receivers into the boundary, and is a secure wrap-up/draf down tackler. He lacks vision, elite ballskills, COD agility to mirror multiple move routes, and patience to deny separation at TOR. A work in progress with the natural skills to be a phenomenal player.
JABRILL COX - LB - LSU/NDST - RSR - 6’4” / 240# - NDST transfer to LSU as grad transfer. Uber athlete with rare size, speed, burst, length profile as a WILL/DLB. JC uses burst to penetrate gaps, has S2S speed, length to stack/shed blockers, agility/quicks to cover TE/RB/WRS, outstanding timing on blitzes, and great wrap-up/form tackling.

CK possesses elite size, length, catch radius, can play inline/wing/HBack/slot/out wide, field/location awareness, excels at high catch point, innate ball tracking, contact balance, COD agility, incredible redzone target, and is a natural hands catcher of the football. Adequate but unspectacular blocker, must improve upper/lower/core body strength, and contact balance.

DIVINE DEABLO - DS/DLB - VT - RSR - 6’3” / 225# - Multi-positional athlete with size/speed(low 4.5s)/length/physicality and ballskills, tough physical hitter that really explodes through ball carriers, uses length to close passing lanes and enhance tackling radius, effective blitzer, understands zone concepts/responsibilities, defeats blocks with length/power/speed, impressive closing burst, needs to continue to work on staying in phase in M2M, enforcer mentality who s always around the ball, plays both FS/SS, has range but best closer to LOS/2 deep.
