2021 Western PA FCS/D3 Safeties

Are you still looking for a backend defender? Check out these 6 safeties from FCS to D3 players.   [player_tooltip player_id="27359" first="Jaden" last="Keating"], Safety 6’0 190 – Upper St. Clair HS Junior Season Analysis: Jaden has good size. He has some quickness and good speed. H shows some closing burst as well. He has good change of direction. His ball skills are still a question. He is a good tackler. I am extremely interested in how he improves his senior year. According to Twitter he does not have any offers, which I am really surprised about, but looks like he is getting recruited by some D-III schools. I think he is at least an FCS player but could be a low-level FBS player.   [player_tooltip player_id="27484" first="Brice" last="Butler"], Safety 5’10 170 – Farrell HS Junior Season Analysis: Brice has good size. Lacks overall top-end speed. He has good ball skills. Good tackler. I am very interested in what he does this season. Brice is a good player who has no offers according to Twitter. I think he would be a good D-II player, but I would not rule out an FCS team to take a chance on him.   Mason Frye, Safety 5’8 155 – Penn Trafford HS Junior Season Analysis: Mason is undersized. He shows quickness and good speed. Physical kid. He is a good wrap up tackler. He does play receiver, but I think he lacks explosiveness and shows average ball skills. On defense, he plays cornerback, but in my opinion, I think he is a strong safety.  Mason is a good player who holds an FCS offer. His size worries me to play at the FCS level. I think he is a D-II player.   [player_tooltip player_id="27391" first="Eshawn" last="Carter"], Safety 5’10 160 – Woodland Hills HS Junior Season Analysis: Eshawn has okay size. Shows good speed and closing burst. Good tackler. Looks like he has stiff hips. His change of direction is not that good. Ball skills are still a question. He does hold an FCS and D-II offer. I believe Eshawn is a D-II player.   Nate Frye, Safety 5’9 175 – Penn Trafford HS Junior Season Analysis: Nate is undersized. He shows some quickness, lacks speed. He also lacks closing burst. Plays high with a stiff backpedal. He has average ball skills with the ability to high point. He is a good tackler. Nate holds an FCS offer, but I believe he is a D-II/D-III player.   X’Zonder Goodwin, Safety 5’9 176 – Cathedral Prep Junior Season Analysis: X’Zonder is undersized. He has a stiff backpedal. Lacks quickness and speed. Seems to be a good tackler. Change of direction is okay. Shows to have average ball skills. X’Zonder does not hold any offers, I believe he is a D-III player.
