These young athletes have shown skill and talent to be able to thrive at the position. Some of these guys will play at the next level, and some of them still need development and training, but can still compete with the best of them. Let’s take a look at some of the prospects around the city, and see why they are considered some of the best in the city of Austin.
Luke Casey- Moore- 5’11 145Ibs/DB/ Lake Travis High School
Analysis: Luke Casey- Moore is an underrated defensive back in the city of Austin. This young man can jump very high with an astounding 37 inch vertical. He is good in man coverage by using his hands to consistently swat down balls. He is a decent tackler as well. Even though he is not the fastest, clocking a 4.7 40 yard dash, he makes sure to stay in position and have leverage on receivers. With more training and development , Moore can become a stud on defense!
Aden Burrell Aden Burrell 5'11" | 180 lbs | DB Liberty Hill | 2023 TX – 5’11 182Ibs/DB/ Liberty High School
Analysis: Aden Burrell Aden Burrell 5'11" | 180 lbs | DB Liberty Hill | 2023 TX is an under the radar safety in the city of Austin as well. He was 2nd Team All-District last year. Burrell racked up 62 tackles, 8 pass break ups, and 1 touchdown last season. Burrell covers well and makes sure to stay n top of receivers. He can attack the ball on a dime and can tackle very well too. Burrell is an extremely physical defensive back as well. He has decent quickness and speed clocking a 4.6 40 yard dash, and a 4.4 shuttle time. Burrell can also win jump balls on the gridiron as well with his 32 inch vertical. Look for him to only improve and start to get looks from collegiate scouts.
Kaleb Martin- 5’9 165Ibs/DB/ New Braunfels High School
Analysis: Kaleb Martin is a very young talent on the rise. Just a freshman last year, Martin has shown that he has what it takes to play with the big boys. Kaleb can make great tackles in the open field and can cover well. He still needs improvement on his fundamentals and mechanics. Martin has really good speed and will only get better the more he plays. In the future, I see Kaleb Martin becoming a very good defensive back. Look for him going forward in 2022!
Alijah Prosser- 5’10 145Ibs/DB/ Manor High School
Analysis: Alijah Prosser can play both sides of the ball! He is still developing as a young player as well. Prosser has decent speed, does a good job tackling in the open and can shed blocks too. Also, he plays physical and has a high motor. He is tremendous at breaking up passes and can be used on special teams as well due to his ball carry vision. With more training and development, he will only become stronger and improve in his game. Look out for him in 2022!
Chris Bruce- 6’2 185Ibs/DB/ Hays High School
Analysis: Chris Bruce is a really good defensive back to keep an eye out on for this upcoming season. He is a prospect that can play at a high level as well. Bruce can catch any ball thrown his way and has keen awareness to make plays when needed. Also, he is tremendous at being a ball hawk and when he comes to make tackles, he is fundamentally sound. Next, he has decent strength does a good job at taking on blocks from receivers and still making tackles! Look for him to become a star for his school in the future!
